You have to know the past to understand the present.

You can hide memories, suppress them, but you cant erase the history that produced them.

We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.

We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.

The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.

The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.

Nothing changes; we humans repeat the same sins over and over, eternally.

If you would be remembered, write a book worth the reading or live a life worth the writing about.

History should be written as philosophy.

History is just the portrayal of crimes and misfortunes.

History cannot be erased or altered.Because that would mean killing yourself.
