“There was a young lady called Gloria
Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier

And Sir Gerald again
And the band of the Waldorf-Astoria.”

“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)
