History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.

I feel slightly uneasy at the way historians are consulted as if history is going to repeat itself. It never does.

The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.

History is made every day. The challenge is getting everyone to pay attention to it.

History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.

Never, ever forget history.

So often, we don't realize that the very moments in which we live become our history, our story.

I'm a historian in my own mind.

Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.

Let it be remembered, too, that at a time of war, nearly every one is under great strain.
