History Book

Famous quotes containing the words history and/or book:

“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)

“Thou wilt be like a lover presently
And tire the hearer with a book of words.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
