Famous quotes containing the words history and/or century:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (18181883)
“Shes just a child,
but Im the one whos fainthearted.
Shes the woman,
but Im the coward.
She bears that high, swollen set of breasts,
but Im the one whos burdened.
The heavy hips are hers,
but Im unable to move.
Its a wonder
how clumsy Ive become
because of flaws
that shelter themselves
in another.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
