Historic Quotes

“One word absent from a sentence, or misinterpreted incorrectly, can change the entire meaning of a sentence. One word can change the meaning of everything. Before you believe anything about God or anybody, ask yourself how well do you trust the transmitter, translator or interpreter. And if you have never met them, then how do you know if the knowledge you acquired is even right? One hundred and twenty-five years following every major event in history, all remaining witnesses will have died. How well do you trust the man who has stored his version of a story? And how can you put that much faith into someone you don't know?”

“كانت الشوارع مغطاة تماما بجثث هؤلاء المجهولين التعساء، مثلما كانت مغطاة في السابق بجثث سكان هذه المدينة العظيمة، اما ضريح الرجل الصالح، الذي كان المتعبدون قد بنوه بعناية فائقة داخل حرم وراء ممر ضيق طويل، والذي كانوا يجلونه كمكان مقدس، لم أكن اعرفه لولا ان ذهبت جدتي اليه بعد عودتها من الحج، فقد جرى هذه المرة، تحويله الى مكان لايواء مجهولي الهوية، ولم يقدر هو ان يمرر من قدرته العظيمة حجارة ليصدوا بها الاذى عن انفسهم، او ليواروا على الاقل جثامينهم التعيسة، وكان الناس مشبعين بروح الثأر الى حد بعيد، بحيث انه في غضون ساعتين من الزمن، لم يبقَ تهمة لم يلصقوها بهم، ثم بعد ان انتهى المشهد، صار اولئك الذين كانوا يغزلون شتى التهم، يتهامسون فيما بينهم، وهم يلعنون قاتليهم”

“Roache's statement after his acquittal was dignified but his supporters were angry. They demanded to know why the case was ever brought, claiming that the actor was a victim of the "hysteria" created by revelations about Jimmy Savile. It's a curious conclusion to draw from a "not guilty" verdict; there are courtrooms where the conviction rate is 100 per cent but they tend to be in totalitarian states. In serious criminal cases in England and Wales, the rate is around 82 per cent, and I would be seriously worried if every defendant were to be found guilty. The Independent, 9 February 2014”

“The cumulative effect of the Romantic theory of creativity, as played out in the context of belief in the virtue of the avant-garde, is that while the art world has effectively freed itself from the tyranny of artistic tradition and its historic patronage system, it has ended up inhabiting an autonomous but perceived irrelevance.”

“I would say that most of my books are contemporary realistic fiction... a couple, maybe three, fall into the 'historic fiction' category. Science fiction is not a favorite genre of mine, though I have greatly enjoyed some of the work of Ursula LeGuin. I haven't read much science fiction so I don't know other sci-fi authors.”

“Really, an historic night last night. You may have heard, Barack Obama will be the first black president of the United States of America. ... Obama is also the first Democrat to receive more than 50 percent of the vote since Jimmy Carter, the first senator to be elected since Jack Kennedy, the first Muslim to be ... I said too much.”

“And every historic effort to forge a democratic project has been undermined by two fundamental realities: poverty and paranoia. The persistence of poverty generates levels of despair that deepen social conflict the escalation of paranoia produces levels of distrust that reinforce cultural division. Rae is the most explosive issue in American life precisely because it forces us to confront the tragic facts of poverty and paranoia despair, and distrust. In short, a candid examination of race matters takes us to the core of the crisis of American democracy (p. 107).”

“Chairman Priebus set out on an early and historic political outreach plan which called for investing resources early to build the RNC network well before Election Day. And although the elections are still eight months away, all indications are that the money has been well spent. Our message is getting out to the Hispanic, Asian and African American communities. If we can continue to implement this plan, we will be able to save the country from further policy damages at the hand of President Obama and the Democrats.”
