Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
    —Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)

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

    “We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
