“I know it is the fashion to say that most of recorded history is lies anyway. I am willing to believe that history is for the most part inaccurate and biased, but what is peculiar to our own age is the abandonment of the idea that history could be truthfully written.”

“History is about winners, not about losers. History is about assessing distortions, not copying out truths. History has much to say about the way the powerful handle power, for power engenders records. History is about evidence, and evidence flagrantly distorts. There is a bias between winners and losers. History is hopeless on love, but excellent on hatred. Such a state of things may not please all, but then history was never meant to please. One-sidedness lies at the heart of historical knowledge.”

“History is written by the victors, the strongest, the most determined. Truth is found most often in the silence, in the quiet places.”

“Truth is singular and lies are plural, but history - the facts of what happened is both immutable and mostly unknowable.”

“What history is not biased? Show me a historian, a real historian who is not biased!...History is never objective.”

“If history is written by the victorious, what if the victors lied?”
