Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
    —Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)

    “History takes time.... History makes memory.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
