Famous quotes containing the word history:

    All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.
    Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    There is one great fact, characteristic of this our nineteenth century, a fact which no party dares deny. On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
