Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
    —Terry Hands (b. 1941)

    “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
