Text Quotes
The thing about being a mystery writer, what marks a mystery writer out from a chick lit author or historical fiction writer, is that you always find a mystery in every situation  (Historical Quotes) The people themselves are not a homogeneous cultural collectivity but present numerous and variously combined cultural stratifications which, in their pure form, cannot always be identified within specific historical popular collectivities  (Historical Quotes) The first book I sat down to write was an historical romance. It was really bad and thankfully no one ever saw it  (Historical Quotes) The thing that most attracts me to historical fiction is taking the factual record as far as it is known, using that as scaffolding, and then letting imagination build the structure that fills in those things we can never find out for sure  (Historical Quotes) I feel a great responsibility playing a historical figure because whether they were good or bad, I feel like the person deserves a fair shake. It’s like being the executor of their estate in some ways  (Historical Quotes) I find historical figures in general very tricky because you feel at times that you’re serving two masters. Not only the arc and wonderful writing that comes with the show, but also the history of a person’s life  (Historical Quotes) Just as a child, before I ever knew what ballet was, there was something in me where I was always searching for something structured, something that was bigger than me, and something so historical that I could be a part of. I didn’t find that until I stepped into the ballet world, and it was overwhelming, the feeling of being a part of something that’s bigger than you  (Historical Quotes) I don’t think one can accurately measure the historical effectiveness of a poem; but one does know, of course, that books influence individuals; and individuals, although they are part of large economic and social processes, influence history. Every mass is after all made up of millions of individuals  (Historical Quotes) What I did that was new was to prove that the existence of classes is only bound up with particular, historical phases in the development of production; that the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat; and that dictatorship itself only constitutes the transition to the abolition of all classes and to a classless society  (Historical Quotes) All the important human advances that we know of since historical times began have been due to individuals of whom the majority faced virulent public opposition  (Historical Quotes) Historical judgement is not a variety of knowledge, it is knowledge itself; it is the form which completely fills and exhausts the field of knowing, leaving no room for anything else  (Historical Quotes) Moreover, the eye contains a big flaw: the retina is inside out. Why would an almighty designer do such a thing? No intelligent designer,.. would put such a clumsy arrangement in a camcorder, and this is just one of the hundreds of accidents frozen in evolutionary history that confirm the mindlessness of the historical process  (Historical Quotes) The progressive historical role of capitalism may be summed up in two brief propositions: increase in the productive forces of social labour, and the socialisation of that labour. But both these facts manifest themselves in extremely diverse processes in different branches of the national economy  (Historical Quotes) It’s never pleasant to have one’s unquestioning beliefs put in their historical context, as I know from experience, I can assure you  (Historical Quotes) If, occasionally, historical evidence does not square with formulated laws, it should be remembered that a law is but a deduction from experience and experiment, and therefore laws must conform with historical facts, not facts with laws  (Historical Quotes) My basic notion regarding the matter of historical recognition is basically, it’s a matter that should be left to the good hands of historians and experts  (Historical Quotes) Sometimes there are historical moments when a country’s course could be turned one way or the other, when fate can be escaped  (Historical Quotes) It is clear that every civilization undergoes a process of historical change. We can see that a civilization comes into existence, passes through a long experience, and eventually goes out of existence  (Historical Quotes) The historical order is very interesting, but accidental and capricious; if we would to understand the growth of knowledge, we cannot be satisfied with accidents, we must explain how knowledge was gradually built up  (Historical Quotes) The random quantum fluctuations of my brain are historical accidents that happen to have decided that the concepts of dynamic scoping and lexical scoping are orthogonal and should remain that way  (Historical Quotes) The distrust and suspicion which men everywhere evidence toward their adversaries, at all states of historical development, may be regarded as the immediate precursor to the notion of ideology  (Historical Quotes) We are not capable of producing a concept of time that is at once cosmological, biological, historical and individual  (Historical Quotes) One of the things I like about doing historical films is drawing the line between now and then  (Historical Quotes) It is not the inferiority of women that has caused their historical insignificance; it is rather their historical insignificance that has doomed them to inferiority  (Historical Quotes) As a society in turmoil, we are going to see more, and more various, attempts to simulate order through repression; and art is a historical target for such efforts  (Historical Quotes) I do believe that in every age there are people whose consciousness transcends their own time and that these people, whether fictional or historical, are those with whom we most closely identify and those about whom we most enjoy reading  (Historical Quotes) I always wanted to be historical, from almost a baby on, I felt that way about it  (Historical Quotes) We only store in memory images of value. To write about one’s life is to live it twice, and the second time is both spiritual and historical  (Historical Quotes) We have accumulated a wealth of historical experience which confirms our belief that the scales of American justice are out of balance  (Historical Quotes) The bases for historical knowledge are not empirical facts but written texts, even if these texts masquerade in the guise of wars or revolutions  (Historical Quotes)
