Famous quotes containing the word historians:

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

    “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)

    “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)
