Barometer/history

Famous quotes containing the words barometer and/or history:

“The barometer that shows “variable” is an ironic indictment of God.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)

“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)
