Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
    Change horses, making history change its tune,
    Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
    Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
    Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
