Karl Marx on history

Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is to sex.

Every act and event is the inevitable result of prior acts and events and is independent of human will.

The more man puts into God, the less he retains in himself. The worker puts his life into the object; but now his life no longer belongs to him, but to the object.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes.

Adolf Hitler1889–1945

There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.

Harry S. Truman1884–1972
