Historians Quotes

Artists are the emotional historians of the world Picture Quote #1

There is that great proverb - that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter Picture Quote #1

As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and, try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our own day Picture Quote #1

We historians are increasingly using experimental psychology to understand the way we act. It is becoming very clear that our ability to evaluate risk is hedged by all sorts of cognitive biases. It’s a miracle that we get anything right Picture Quote #1

Historians are dangerous people. They are capable of upsetting everything Picture Quote #1

Ignorance and arrogance are a lethal combination. Nowhere do we see that more clearly among writers and performers who pontificate as historians when they know nothing about history Picture Quote #1
