Famous quotes containing the words secret and/or societies:
“If we confine ourselves to a general and distant reflection on the ills of human life, that can have no effect to prepare us for them. If by close and intense meditation we render them present and intimate to us, that is the true secret for poisoning all our pleasures, and rendering us perpetually miserable.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
