Sentiment: NEGATIVE
History never looks like history when you are living through it.
Anyone who believes you can't change history has never tried to write his memoirs.
History can never be covered up.
History is, of course, a made thing. It does not exist by itself in anything like a recognizable form.
No heirloom of humankind captures the past as do art and language.
The New Testament is not a historical document.
History rarely repeats itself, but its echoes never go away.
History does not merely touch on language, but takes place in it.
The histories of mankind are histories only of the higher classes.
History's written from what can be found; what isn't saved is lost, sunken and rotted, eaten by earth.
