Famous quotes containing the word historians:

    “Nations without a past are contradictions in terms. What makes a nation is the past, what justifies one nation against others is the past, and historians are the people who produce it.”
    —Eric J. Hobsbawm (b. 1917)

    “All the historians are Harvard people. It just isn’t fair. Poor old Hoover from West Branch, Iowa, had no chance with that crowd; nor did Andrew Jackson from Tennessee. Nor does Lyndon Johnson from Stonewall, Texas. It just isn’t fair.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.”
    —Philip Guedalla (1889–1944)
