Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.

The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.

History keeps teaching us that we can't recognize the important events that are going to trigger changes.

I've always been intrigued by the way history works, the way we decide what is mentioned.

History is what we bring to it, not just the events themselves, but how we interpret those events.

History is one of those marvelous and necessary illusions we have to deal with. It's one of the ways of dealing with our world with impossible generalities which we couldn't live without.

History is history. What is done is done.

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

History creates comprehensibility primarily by arranging facts meaningfully and only in a very limited sense by establishing strict causal connections.

History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.
