Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or history:
““Having reached the term of his natural life”; Mwould it not be truer to say, Having reached the term of his unnatural life?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
