Text Quotes
I travel back in time, falling back into what I know for certain, the historical data I cling to in order to not go mad, not assume I made a suicidal and well-informed error in marrying this man.  (Historical Quotes) In Bolivia, we want to overcome our historical problems with Chile. The sea has divided us and the sea must bring us back together again.  (Historical Quotes) The power of historical fiction for bad and for good can be immense in shaping consciousness of the past.  (Historical Quotes) It (urban peacekeeping) was quite a task, requiring a permanent balancing act between communities, each with their own interests, festivals, traditions and historical rivalries imported from the wide-open spaces of the countryside into close quarters.  (Historical Quotes) In baseball, you can do something poorly and still get credit. A pitcher could throw a bad ball, the batter hit a screaming line drive, and an outfielder make a fantastic diving catch. Yet, when you look at historical databases, 80% of the time when a ball is struck with that trajectory and velocity, it is a hit.  (Historical Quotes) As a historical legacy, the Kashmir conflict has been an outstanding issue for more than half a century.  (Historical Quotes) The exposure I have had to beautiful materials across the world, from Japan to Italy, enables me to pull design ideas together. This, combined with years of historical research, has created a great fountain of ideas for me.  (Historical Quotes) The difference between the Parthenon and the World Trade Center, between a French wine glass and a German beer mug, between Bach and John Philip Sousa, between Sophocles and Shakespeare, between a bicycle and a horse, though explicable by historical moment, necessity, and destiny, is before all a difference of imagination.  (Historical Quotes) I lay no claim, it should be clear, to being a historian. So in my books, the intimate and personal have been intertwined inextricably with the broad and historical.  (Historical Quotes) Floating Worlds,’ published in 1975 and the lone science fiction novel by acclaimed historical novelist Cecelia Holland, was unique in being completely devoid of the usual pulp influences present in much space opera up to that time.  (Historical Quotes) I’ve found that using historical material and being rooted in historical material is liberating because I always think to myself, ‘Well, this actually happened, and this is fantastic!’ That’s why I don’t like fantasy, in a way. Because it’s sort of in emptiness.  (Historical Quotes) It’s really important in any historical fiction, I think, to anchor the story in its time. And you do that by weaving in those details, by, believe it or not, by the plumbing.  (Historical Quotes) The greatest of all historical shams is believing you can not do something you can  (Historical Quotes) I didn’t want to be an actor. I wanted to design historical movies like ‘Ben-Hur’. I saw this as my life.  (Historical Quotes) Contemporary art for me is a kind of historical term that describes the 40 years between the Berlin Wall going up and then coming down. I’m not sure who will come up with a better term to describe art, but I think contemporary art is actually done for.  (Historical Quotes) Just because a company falls doesn’t invalidate what we can learn by studying that company when it was at its historical best.  (Historical Quotes) Jewish persecution is a historical memory of the present generation and people fear it in the present day, and that’s why those references are so much more powerful. I just understand that better now.  (Historical Quotes) I’ve always read a lot of historical books and I’m a big fan of documentaries, and I’ve always thought of ways to do it.  (Historical Quotes) I’m a big fan of historical fiction stuff. Historical battles - ‘Gladiators,’ ‘The Patriot.’  (Historical Quotes) I think that Malcolm X was the most remarkable historical figure produced by Black America in the 20th century.  (Historical Quotes) First and foremost, telling historical stories is very tricky because it is something that is known. It is not like you can tell a lie or change something that is written in black and white.  (Historical Quotes) That’s partly the success of my work-the ability to have a young black girl walk into the Brooklyn Museum and see paintings she recognizes not because of their art or historical influence but because of their inflection, in terms of colors, their specificity and presence.  (Historical Quotes) I’m a sponge for historical images of black people and black history on film  (Historical Quotes) ...this cryptic game of hide-and-seek is what makes it one of the greatest historical mysteries. So many of the symbols can be interpreted in so many different ways, there’s always the possibility that all we’re really looking at is a blank slate onto which anything can be read.  (Historical Quotes) Historical fiction is not history. You’re blending real events and actual historical personages with characters of your own creation.  (Historical Quotes) Blending consensus historical events and personages with imaginary occult forces is a strong recipe for counterfactual storytelling goodness that combines the best of two worlds: resonant history with wild-eyed fantasy.  (Historical Quotes) I first started writing historical fiction in the late 70s and kept pictures of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers on my refrigerator until my first book was published by Avon in 1982. The biggest advantage of this genre for me is that it allows me to blend fact and fiction.  (Historical Quotes) I don’t mean to burst anyone’s bubble, but there is no scriptural or historical basis for December 25th actually being the day that Jesus was born.  (Historical Quotes) I would not hesitate to say I was addicted to the Internet in the first two years. It can be addictive, and things not taken in moderation have negative effects. But the alarmism around ‘Facebook is changing our brains’ strikes me as a kind of historical trick. Because we now know from brain science that everything changes our brains.  (Historical Quotes) I believe that the visit of the Queen to the United States is an admirable occasion to produce an historical, truthful, sincere, genuine analysis of how the British Monarchy evolved into its present situation.  (Historical Quotes)
