“Events are the ephemera of history; they pass across its stage like fireflies, hardly glimpsed before they settle back into darkness and as often as not into oblivion. Every event, however brief, has to be sure a contribution to make, lights up some dark corner or even some wide vista of history. Nor it it only political history which benefits most, for every historical landscape--political, economic, social, even geographical--is illumined by the intermittent flare of the event.”
Fernand Braudel
“History is us and we are history. History is written not with the pen but by our actions, what we do today determines what history records about us good or bad”
Daniel Oke
“The idea of a Being who interferes with the sequence of events in the world is absolutely impossible”
Albert Einstein
“History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.”
Napoleon Bonaparte
“Although present on the occasion, I have no clear recollection of the events leading up to it.”
Winston Churchill
“That ends this strange eventful history, Is second childishness and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything”
William Shakespeare
“History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction.”
Calvin & Hobbes
