3 December 2020 Norman Cousins A library is the delivery room for the birth of ideas, a place where history comes to life.
3 December 2020 Bertrand Russell Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.

3 December 2020 Haile Selassie Outside the kingdom of the Lord there is no nation which is greater than any other. God and history will remember your judgment.
3 December 2020 Theodore Roosevelt Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.
3 December 2020 Neil Armstrong All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
3 December 2020 George Galloway I think that both men, Bush and Blair, will be damned in history. Both men have made their respective countries the two most hated countries in the world.
3 December 2020 Alison Sweeney ‘Days’ has always been strong as an icon in TV history, and it’s still going on strong and represents the genre of daytime drama so well. I’m proud to be a part of it.
3 December 2020 Jeanne Moreau My face has changed with the years and has enough history in it to give audiences something to work with.
3 December 2020 David Attenborough In the old days… it was a basic, cardinal fact that producers didn’t have opinions. When I was producing natural history programmes, I didn’t use them as vehicles for my own opinion. They were factual programmes.
3 December 2020 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar In a typical history book, black Americans are mentioned in the context of slavery or civil rights. There’s so much more to the story.
