There's No Such Thing As

There Are People Who Are Trying To Write History For The General Reader Who Can Be Quite Tedious. That Said, I Do Feel In My Heart Of Hearts That If History Isn't Well Written, It Isn't Going To Be Read, And If It Isn't Read It's Going To Die.

In Time I Began To Understand That It's When You Start Writing That You Really Find Out What You Don't Know And Need To Know.

History Is Not The Story Of Heroes Entirely. It Is Often The Story Of Cruelty And Injustice And Shortsightedness. There Are Monsters, There Is Evil, There Is Betrayal. That's Why People Should Read Shakespeare And Dickens As Well As History ~~ They Will Find The Best, The Worst, The Height Of Noble Attainment And The Depths Of Depravity.

There Are No People On Earth In Whom A Spirit Of Enthusiastic Zeal Is So Readily Kindled, And Burns So Remarkably, As Americans

I've Always Been Dissatisfied, I Know That. But Lately I Find That I Reek Of Discontentment. It Fills My Throat, And It Floods My Brain. And Sometimes I Fear There Is No Longer A Dream, But Only The Discontentment.
