Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The principle that human nature, in its psychological aspects, is nothing more than a product of history and given social relations removes all barriers to coercion and manipulation by the powerful.”

“We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.”
