Famous quotes containing the words life and/or history:

    We are doomed to cling to a life even while we find it unendurable.
    William James (1842–1910)

    History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
