Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “American time has stretched around the world. It has become the dominant tempo of modern history, especially of the history of Europe.”
    —Harold Rosenberg (1906–1978)
