Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”

    “America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.”
    —Georges Clemenceau (1841–1929)

    “What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
