The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.

The ages live in history through their anachronisms.

Any fool can make history, but it takes a genius to write it.

Would you like to know the great drama of my life? It is that I have put my genius into my life...I have put only my talent into my works.

Anybody can make history; only a great man can write it.

Appearance blinds, whereas words reveal.
