Quarry Bay station opened as part of the second phase of the Island Line on 31 May 1985. The station was expanded in 1989 with the addition of Platforms 3 and 4, which served as the terminus of Kwun Tong Line until 2002. The line was then extended to North Point on August 18 of the same year; these two platforms are now a part of the Tseung Kwan O Line.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“In the history of the human mind, these glowing and ruddy fables precede the noonday thoughts of men, as Aurora the sun’s rays. The matutine intellect of the poet, keeping in advance of the glare of philosophy, always dwells in this auroral atmosphere.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
