—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”

“A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
