  1. History is told by the conquerers. I am learning that more each year. What I thought I knew about history has changed as I have learned this.

    Marjorie Crowe
  2. We learn history to prevent repetition of bad events.

  3. My life stretches out behind me like a roll of toilet paper that fell out of the bag and rolled away. I can’t seem to see the end and it’s barley even good for wiping my ass with now.

  4. History is so unique, when you think about it. Its like a bunch of really tangled webs that all intersect each other at some point, like, the things that happen to you, or the people that you meet, the things that you think of, history is like a giant subway map that crosses all over the place, showing where things have gone, and where the future will take them.

  5. history is all about what happened long ago. you have a history and so do i. napoleon bonaparte had a history and now he’s six feet under, or more. But that’s what history’s about. Leaving your mark here in the world for everyone to uncover long after you are gone. History is really such a beautiful and useful thing.

  6. Life is written in the pages of the Lady’s journal. She writes down all the things that must be remembered, even when no one wants to, especially when no one wants to. She keeps the words safe in her library, deep under the earth, where the worms dare not wriggle and the moths never nibble on the pages. There is only the Lady here, keeping track of all the world through her great silver mirror.

  7. The history that they rode upon dug back to her birth, a death, and a meeting.
    She loved him, they had a history.
    He loved her, she was easy to torture.

  8. I hope that my parents don’t check my history and think i’m insane. Last time I tried to find an old music video from a few days earlier I was (hardly) surprised to see the string of porn sites my thirteen year old brother and his perv friends had looked up the previous night… it’s a damn good thing my keys weren’t sticky.. dear god.

  9. HISTORY TEACHES US ABOUT TOMORROW.
    It can make us or unmake us, that is if we don’t learn from history we are at a loss and we can’t move on.
    So start things anew and look back at history, so we won’t make same mistakes again.

  10. history is a really complex, growing thing, you know? like, i feel that it really repeats itself because we;re really not that original. humans, I mean. Like, everything just has to be recycled because we can;t think of anything new, and we learn everything from the past really, because that’s all that we know.

    Ellyn
  11. history is so different from person to person. Is it a bullet lodged in your bone that aches when it rains? Is it and old ex, and a messy break up? Is it stick figure pictures on a cave wall? stories at your grandfather’s knee?

  13. My summer school class is American History. I just finished learning about WWII and now I suppose I’m on to the Cold War. I have four days to finish about eight chapters of work. It’s going to be a bit stressful, but fun!

    Allie
  14. hate the subject learning from it causes more stress and keeps us from moving forward because we are dwelling in the past, nobody wants to remember our mistakes if it was worth it we would call them memories instead

  16. A brief history of man is concluded through the eyes of several offspring of a rodent species willing to entrap themselves with the hilarious spectacle of Homo Erectus A, or better known as Steve K. Willard, from St Paul, Minneapolis.

  17. It makes us who we are now, to hear the stories from loved ones and people in general brings us back to earth!

    Princess
  18. We are a history, a living and breathing history that is constantly being written.

  19. is a class that i don’t really care much for. it’s what makes us who we are, it’s our past, and our future in a way. every passing second becomes history. historical things become our history. history taken apart sounds like “his story” because it’s sorta like whoever’s life story or whatever. you know.

  22. History makes a person rethink what he or she is doing in the present. People honestly should learn from it. Everyone has one, so why not put it to good use??

    Mallory Foster
  23. its changing, comes and goes and repeats itself. pattern of sadness and triumpths that we still havent completely learned from. Its been recorded. Its been forgotten. It belongs to the people and is often fixed and molded into the authors perspective.

  24. The history of man was a real horror of a time. It is a descriptive story of triumphs and falters (more falters than triumphs). It ultimately failed beyond a doubt at a climax found to be humorous by most spectative species of other planets with the capabilities teliscopicly to peer into the demise of homosapiens that had inhabited earth

    corley hlurston
  25. Is a view into the present. Time repeats itself, why make the same mistakes if we can avoid it. That relationship may be history but the lessons learnt may help someone else avoid your mistakes. History is important for paving the way forward.

    Danique
  26. Ugh…
    Probably one of my worst subjects, and yet, I am taking AP U.S. History next year in high school. In hindsight, probably not a good idea, but I always push myself; sometimes a bit too hard. Oh history; can’t wait.

    Sydney O.
  27. A brilliant place to visit. Fantastic, absolutely fantastic. Sometimes you’ve got to just jump right in, step on a few butterflies, and avoid high school dances.

  28. That one AP class I will never forget. It’s not that I’ll never forget all of the pointless US history I learned, but rather, I will never forget how strange that teacher was. Mrs. J, you are one nice lady, but a really strange teacher. I’m glad I’m no longer in that class.

  29. Forget about it and you’ll be happier.

    :D

  30. its lame, dead, fantastic, amazing, changed the future, boring, dull, exploding with life, a paradox, long ago, RIGHT NOW.

    Steph
  31. The story made by time, and events that unfold in the wake of humans or other life forms that take care to realize the past as well as the future, for history is the present without the future.

    Joanna Fitzsimmons
  32. What is done is done, i suppose. You can’t change what happened in the past, only retell the facts. History is happening all around us, every minute of everyday. It’s unique, It’s important. History shapes us.

  33. I took a full year of American AP History, and I now I know a lot about all of the presidents and this nations successes and mistakes.

    Zuzanna Czerny
  34. Do you ever wonder what you would change if you could rewrite your own history? But then would altering history affect who you are today? There would be no guarantee things would be better than they are now. Are we better to accept the history we have, the hand we were dealt with full knowledge of who we are than to take a chance of something better?

  35. No matter how hard we try, it seems impossible for people to learn from history.

  36. history is a huge topic that has to do with a variety of different events of the past. it’s a great subject to learn about the past and even the present.

    Laura Cas
  37. History is pretty interesting. I wish i knew more about it, just like i think everyone should know about our world’s history. Its extremely important and without it, you just seem uneducated. Just like how their trying to take the holocaust out of history….

  39. If there is one thing that defines the world, it is history. There can’t be a present, or a future, without the past. With each second that passes, we are making history.

  40. history is important because to know where we have to go, we first need to know where we come from… also, history give us our culture wich is really importante beacuse we have to pass it on to the next generation
