History had its own way of explaining things. The way historians explain things is by telling a story.

History's like a story in a way: it depends on who's telling it.

I was showing a man and telling his story and explaining how ill he was, and it was a live camera and all of a sudden I realized that he was dying.

The easiest story to tell is the story of your life, in telling it you are at your best because you know it

For it is not Histories that I am writing, but Lives; and in the most illustrious deeds there is not always a manifestation of virtue or vice, nay, a slight thing like a phrase or a jest often makes a greater revelation of character than battles where thousands fall, or the greatest armaments, or sieges of cities.

History repeats itself; historians repeat each other
