To revive: leave that to the historians, who are looking backward  (Historians Quotes) To write history is so difficult that most historians are forced to make concessions to the technique of legende  (Historians Quotes) I believe that historians and analysts of historical events need the authority of facts supplied by living witnesses to the events, which they make their subject  (Historians Quotes) I feel slightly uneasy at the way historians are consulted as if history is going to repeat itself. It never does  (Historians Quotes) I think there’s a tide that tends to carry historians back to the past  (Historians Quotes) It doesn’t upset artists to find out that artists used lenses or mirrors or other aids, but it certainly does upset the art historians  (Historians Quotes) No, this customary aim of research by excavators is completely foreign to the historical work with which I am occupied... my sole and only aim is to be able to establish a historical fact, on which I disagree with some eminent historians and geographers  (Historians Quotes) You’re making a movie, not a documentary. If you made a film like the historians would like you to make, you’re not going to go and see it. I’d rather see paint dry  (Historians Quotes) Nations without a past are contradictions in terms. What makes a nation is the past, what justifies one nation against others is the past, and historians are the people who produce it  (Historians Quotes) History had its own way of explaining things. The way historians explain things is by telling a story  (Historians Quotes) People take the longest possible paths, digress to numerous dead ends, and make all kinds of mistakes.
