Text Quotes

U.S. domestic drug policy does not carry out its stated goals, and policymakers are well aware of that. If it isn’t about reducing substance abuse, what is it about? It is reasonably clear, both from current actions and the historical record, that substances tend to be criminalized when they are associated with the so-called dangerous classes, that the criminalization of certain substances is a technique of social control. (Historical Quotes)
As an historical novelist - there are few jobs more retrospective. I dumped science at an early age. (Historical Quotes)
Earth Day is the first holy day...and is devoted to the harmony of nature... The celebration offends no historical calendar, yet it transcends them all. (Historical Quotes)
If you write a book about a bygone period that lies east of the Mississippi River, then it’s a historical novel. If it’s west of the Mississippi, it’s a western, a different category. There’s no sense to it. (Historical Quotes)
I accept the resurrection of Easter Sunday not as an invention of the community of disciples, but as a historical event. If the resurrection of Jesus from the dead on that Easter Sunday were a public event which had been made known...not only to the 530 Jewish witnesses but to the entire population, all Jews would have become followers of Jesus. (Historical Quotes)
Understanding the true causes of the Depression, as well as the real economic record of the United States in the 1930s, is an essential ingredient in anyone’s economic and historical education. (Historical Quotes)
I taught English and history, so my education for that really helped prepare me for writing historical fiction. (Historical Quotes)
I think that the reason that people are so up in arms about movies that have historical inaccuracies is because now that we’ve trashed our education institutions beyond repair, people fear that the only people are getting their histories is through the movies, so the elephant in the room is that no one wants to talk about why we’re so passionately obsessed with accuracy. (Historical Quotes)
There are certain historical figures of such importance that we need to know everything about them, which is why books about Napoleon, Lincoln, Julius Caesar, Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth I, and the great religious founders continue to proliferate; these lives require constant reevaluation and interpretation. (Historical Quotes)
I’ve been told by people who write historical novels that you just sort of write the emotional truth first, the story at the core, and then you go back and research it at the end. (Historical Quotes)
Success is not a function of individual talent. It’s the steady accumulation of advantages. It’s bound up in so many other broader circumstantial, environmental, historical, and cultural factors. (Historical Quotes)
My first three manuscripts were epic fantasy - like high fantasy - and then the fourth one was a historical fantasy about Mozart as a child. I still have a soft spot for that one! (Historical Quotes)
Temeraire’ is a terrific meld of two genres that I particularly love - fantasy and historical epic. (Historical Quotes)
It is impossible to build sound constitutional doctrine upon a mistaken understanding of Constitutional history... The establishment clause has been expressly freighted with Jefferson’s misleading metaphor for nearly forty years... There is simply no historical foundation for the proposition that the framers intended to build a wall of separation... The recent court decisions are in no way based on either the language or intent of the framers. (Historical Quotes)
Tiger is a natural kind and Tiger is a historical particular are incompatible with each other, and evolutionary biology provides a reason for favoring the latter over the former. (Historical Quotes)
The blurring of fact and fiction has great commercial potential, which is bound to be corrupting in historical terms. (Historical Quotes)
Historical fiction is not only a respectable literary form; it is a standing reminder of the fact that history is about human beings. (Historical Quotes)
In my qualified opinion as a Biblical scholar, there is ‘massive’ and overwhelming historical evidence that the New Testament manuscripts are in fact reliable. ~R. Alan Woods [2013] (Historical Quotes)
I feel a great responsibility playing a historical figure because whether they were good or bad, I feel like the person deserves a fair shake. It’s like being the executor of their estate in some ways. (Historical Quotes)
I can read a newspaper article, and it might trigger something else in my mind. I often like to choose in historical fiction things or subject matter I don’t feel have been given a fair shake in history. (Historical Quotes)
In this universe of ours, with its wealth of errors and legends, historical data and false information, one absolute truth is the fact that Superman is Clark Kent. All the rest is always open to debate. (Historical Quotes)
Writers of historical fiction are not under the same obligation as historians to find evidence for the statements they make. For us it is sufficient if what we say can’t be disproved or shown to be false. (Historical Quotes)
Even though the society that Marx foresaw is far from being an historical reality, Marxism has penetrated so deeply in history that we are all Marxists, one way or another, even unknowingly. (Historical Quotes)
And it also became clear that these conditions of inequality and historical injustice have given rise to a feeling of hate in the world - a deeply felt hate that cannot easily be overcome with a few good words. (Historical Quotes)
Historical fiction is actually good preparation for reading SF. Both the historical novelist and the science fiction writer are writing about worlds unlike our own. (Historical Quotes)
I think I’m too lazy a writer to do something like historical fiction. You have to do so much research. I just write what I know. (Historical Quotes)
I research the role, and if it’s a literary character, I read the book, and if it’s an historical figure, I research documents and biographies. If it’s a fictional character, I work off the script. (Historical Quotes)
Writing historical novels can be dangerous. We need to be as accurate and as fair about the historical record as we can be, at the same time as creating our fictional characters and, hopefully, telling a good story. The challenge is weaving the fiction into the history. (Historical Quotes)
The characters in my stories, whether historical or fictional, usually prove to be a compilation of influences taken from differing sources, but never drawn from one model. (Historical Quotes)
