Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or level:
“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)
“[A writer] should try not to be too far, personally, below the level of his work.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
