Quote

Live out of your imagination, not your history.

When history looks back, it will prove what I'll die knowing.

I do not want history to record me as someone who has bequeathed to his nation the institution of despotism.

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

I have not much interest in anyone's personal history after the tenth year, not even my own. Whatever one was going to be was all prepared before that.

Every time we revise our history, we also revise the mythology of our history.

I keep an elaborate calendar for my characters detailing on which dates everything happens. I'm constantly revising this as I go along. It gives me the freedom to intricately plot my story, knowing it will at least hold up on a timeline.

Oh no, I'm not a historian or anything like that.

I've got a history in my life of difficult times.

My history is to find the next big thing early.
