Bullet/history

Famous quotes containing the words bullet and/or history:

“Rude poets of the tavern hearth,
squandering your unquoted mirth,
which keeps the ground, and never soars,
while jake retorts, and reuben roars;
tough and screaming, as birch-bark,
goes like bullet to its mark;
while the solid curse and jeer
never balk the waiting ear.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
