History belongs above all to the man... who needs models, teachers, comforters and cannot find them among his contemporaries.

The entire so-called history of the world is nothing but the creation of man through human labor.

An educated man is not one whose memory is trained to carry a few dates in history - he is one who can accomplish things.

History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. It is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. It is not History, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.

The man and the movement seemed 'reactionary' in my eyes.

Whoever will not be a hammer in history, will be an anvil.
