History is a people's memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals.
The haunting of history is ever present in Barcelona. I see cities as organisms, as living creatures. To me, Madrid is a man and Barcelona is a woman. And it's a woman who's extremely vain.

Jesus was not born in a manger in central Pennsylvania. He was a man of color. And the fact that we have represented him for centuries literally as a white man speaks to the entire history of white supremacy.
~ Tim Wise
Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
~ George Bernard Shaw
The 4th Amendment and the personal rights it secures have a long history. At the very core stands the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.
~ Potter Stewart

~ Joseph Rotblat
It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.
~ Henry David Thoreau
You that would judge me, do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends' portraits hang and look thereon; Ireland's history in their lineaments trace; think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends.
Bankers know that history is inflationary and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard.

~ Eugene Cernan
You can't walk alone. Many have given the illusion, but none have really walked alone. Man is not made that way. Each man is bedded in his people, their history, their culture, and their values.
~ Peter Abrahams
History is just this froth of artifact production that has appeared in the last ten to fifteen thousand years. It spread across the planet very quickly. But that mind in man just goes back and back into the darkness.
~ Terence Mckenna
Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.
~ Jonathan Swift
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
~ Barbra Streisand
On the 11th anniversary of 9/11, it is some consolation that the man most responsible for that terrible morning will not be smiling smugly to himself as satellite TV brings to the leafy boulevards of Abbottabad the somber images of New Yorkers commemorating those who perished in the Twin Towers.
~ Bobby Ghosh
There are a few elements - especially platinum and palladium - that have the amazing ability to absorb up to 900 times their own volume in hydrogen gas. To get a sense of the scale there, that's roughly equivalent to a 250-pound man swallowing something the size of a dozen African bull elephants and not gaining an inch on his waistline.
~ Sam Kean
The way that people show me love on Twitter? I don't know man. It's amazing.
~ T-Pain
I'm incredibly fortunate to have met the intelligent, generous, risk-taking, stimulating man to whom I am married. He's really amazing.
~ Cate Blanchett
I'm not an Adonis, that's for damn sure. I've never really thought of myself that way, and it doesn't matter to me. My favorite actors aren't Adonises. Dustin Hoffman is a flawed-looking man; he's amazing to me. Tom Hanks is flawed-looking; people love him. Same with Gene Hackman.
~ Shia Labeouf
Cotton candy is the most amazing form of caramelization ever invented by man.
~ Jose Andres
