Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
    —Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)

    “All history and art are against us, but we still expect happiness in love.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

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