A bad historian is even more dangerous than dead documentary wood.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are set to make very bad history.
History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
Leave history to historians.
History is admirably dangerous. It is not the soft option. Teachers need to be grown up and brave. Sensitivity is fine, but it stops at the door of honest narrative.
Most people don't like to talk about violent historical death.
I ain't no historian but I happen to savvy this incident.
History isn't just the story of bad people doing bad things. It's quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.
History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
The good historian is like the giant of the fairy tale. He knows that wherever he catches the scent of human flesh, there his quarry lies.
You're making a movie, not a documentary. If you made a film like the historians would like you to make, you're not going to go and see it. I'd rather see paint dry.
