Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
