History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

First of all, I would like to emphasize that the wall that has emerged in recent years between Russia and Ukraine, between the parts of what is essentially the same historical and spiritual space, to my mind is our great common misfortune and tragedy. These are, first and foremost, the consequences of our own mistakes made at different periods of time.

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

The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves.

Worms have played a more important part in the history of the world than humans would at first suppose.

The world at large is less inequitable today than at any time in history. Number of people in abject poverty, as a percentage, is at all-time low.
