Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or situation:

    Whether considered as a doctrine, or as an historical fact, or as a movemement, socialism, if it really remains socialism, cannot be brought into harmony with the dogmas of the Catholic church.... Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are expressions implying a contradiction in terms.
    Pius XI [Achille Ratti] (1857–1939)

    You can’t stay married in a situation where you are afraid to go to sleep in case your wife might cut your throat.
    Mike Tyson (b. 1966)
