“History is not our guide, it is not our friend. It is a passing stranger, one which shadows legend, sprinkling it with the seeds of truth.”

“. . .legends, which in the etymological sense are what one should pass on, are only the symbols of a tradional truth transported from one generation to the next.”

“Of course, it is only a legend. Still, most legends germinate from a seed of truth and feed on the imagination of Man. We need our demons: they are symbols, overblown maybe, often exaggerated, but effective. They offer simple confrontations between Good and Evil. War, famine, and pestilence are much less straightforward.”

“Our shadows are our histories. We drag them everywhere.”

“To understand the Universe, we must guide our children and children of children to keep exploring the history because one life is not enough to understand the Universe. The beginning of our life lies in the history only.”

“Trouble is a sieve through which we sift our acquaintances. Those too big to pass through are our friends.”
