“I loved history, any kind of history, and even better if it was hidden, secret, or underground.”
“Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.”
“True history is almost invisible. It flows like an underground spring. It takes place in the shadows, and in silence.. And only a chosen few know what that history is.”
“I have the worst kind of history—a non history. I wasn’t born poor, oppressed, rich, famous, or any other such extreme. I was born in the middle, and I desperately want to hide it.”
“Just because it’s the biggest secret in the history of the world doesn’t make it any less true.”
“The history of the human race is the history of human hatred. Even love cannot erase such intense hatred.”
