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

    “I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a “will to renewal.” This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of “crises”Mof rupture, repudiation and resistance.... When there is no “crisis,” there is stagnation, petrification and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.”
    —Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)

    “The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
    —Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)

    “A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.”
    —W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)
