“We are the makers of history, not its victims.”
“The work of today is the history of tomorrow and we are its makers”
“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.”
“History is written by the victors, but it's victims who write the memoirs.”
“History is nothing except monsters or victims. Or witnesses.”
“Through the ages, many different groups have called themselves victims. Some came through wars and massacres. Some were slaves or minorities. But the Jews, who have always been victimized throughout history, don’t see themselves as victims. We see ourselves as survivors. The difference between survivors and victims is that survivors go on with their lives after a tragedy, whereas victims continue to wallow in self-pity.”
