Quote

The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.

Today's world is very cruel.

The world is always terrible.

Life is such a tragicomedy.

The history of the world is the story of people getting off track.

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

History is history.

History often reads as a hard and grim experience. But people are remarkably resilient and funny, even when the going is very hard.

The world is an infinitely fascinating, tragic and humorous place.

There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.
