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.

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.

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

I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature.

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