Famous quotes containing the words history of and/or history:

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

    In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
