Dungeon/history

Famous quotes containing the words dungeon and/or history:

    O who shall from this dungeon raise
    A soul enslaved so many ways?
    With bolts of bones, that fettered stands
    In feet; and manacled in hands:
    Here blinded with an eye; and there
    Deaf with the drumming of an ear;
    A soul hung up, as ‘twere, in chains
    Of nerves, and arteries, and veins;
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
