Is humanity a lost cause? History seems to say so.

So long as the future remains unwritten, there's hope.

History is yesterday's news. Nothing is deader than yesterday's news.

If history teaches one thing, it's not to be too optimistic.

The real untold history of our species is that of ordinary people doing ordinary things.

Just when you think progress has been made the same old lies come creeping around again.

Read history and go mad.

We have to outgrow history. History is what keeps all the old wounds and grievances alive.

History always misrepresents the past, just as journalism always misrepresents the present.
