History

Overview

From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).

• “No honest historian can take part with--or against--the forces he has to study. To him even the extinction of the human race should be merely a fact to be grouped with other vital statistics.”

• “There's a good reason why nobody studies history. It just teaches you too much.”

• “The whole point about historians is that we are really communing with the dead. It's very restful – because you read. There's some sociopathic problem that makes me prefer it to human interaction.”

• “What is the use trying to describe the flowing of a river at any one moment, and then at the next moment, and then at the next, and the next, and the next? You wear out. You say: There is a great river, and it flows through this land, and we have named it History.”

• “History is the story of mankind, of what it has done, suffered or enjoyed.”

• “Happy the people whose annals are tiresome.”
