“The people who criticize me are ignorant of what history is, because the very fact that the student of history chooses what to include and what not to include in his work, is proof that history is never objective.”

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

“The attitude of a student in history should be do not accept anything until proven otherwise. Doubt everything including your parentage! Including your parentage!”

“History deals with the past, not with the future. We use history to avoid the mistakes of the past, not to recreate the very same events. You cannot.”

“History is written by every generation. Every generation writes its own history using the same sources. The interpretations vary according to time.”

“I said that great men had a sense of history. But when you say you have a great sense of history it does not follow that you are great.”

“History is re-creation while literature is creation.”
