You can edit a film, revise a story, but you can only change history by lying about it.

You can revise a story, you can edit a film, but you can only alter an event by lying about it.

History is the record of violence and bloodshed caused by crackpot ideas.

History for the most part is just bad fiction.

Study history, and what do you see. Idolatry, nothing but idolatry. If it's not some grotesque god, it's some equally grotesque human being.

Our ignominious history: a combination of tribalism and idolatry.

History is not a Frank Capra movie. Sometimes the bad guys win.

The entire history of the world is the history of the violence caused by crackpot ideas.
