—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The best history is but like the art of Rembrandt; it casts a vivid light on certain selected causes, on those which were best and greatest; it leaves all the rest in shadow and unseen.”

“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
