Quotes

  • What makes a good writer of history is a guy who is suspicious. Suspicion marks the real difference between the man who wants to write honest history and the one who'd rather write a good story.
  • The future is an opaque mirror. Anyone who tries to look into it sees nothing but the dim outlines of an old and worried face.
