    nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
    —Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)

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

    “The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
