—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
“If you look at the 150 years of modern China’s history since the Opium Wars, then you can’t avoid the conclusion that the last 15 years are the best 15 years in China’s modern history.”
—J. Stapleton Roy (b. 1935)
“This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
