“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.”

La historia es el estudio sistemático del pasado, centrado principalmente en el pasado humano. Como disciplina académica, analiza e interpreta evidencia para construir narrativas sobre lo que sucedió y explicar por qué sucedió. Algunos teóricos categorizan la historia como una ciencia social, mientras que otros la ven como parte de las humanidades o la consideran una disciplina híbrida. Debates similares rodean el propósito de la historia, por ejemplo, si su objetivo principal es teórico, para descubrir la verdad, o práctico, para aprender lecciones del pasado. En un sentido más general, el término historia no se refiere a un campo académico sino al pasado mismo, a tiempos en el pasado o a textos individuales sobre el pasado.
