Famous quotes containing the word historians:

    “As all historians know, the past is a great darkness, and filled with echoes. Voices may reach us from it; but what they say to us is imbued with the obscurity of the matrix out of which they come; and try as we may, we cannot always decipher them precisely in the clearer light of our day.”
    —Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)

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

    “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)
