Historical Research Quotes

The church lives because it witholds the results of the historical Jesus-research from you Picture Quote #1

If all the evidence is weighed carefully and fairly, it is indeed justifiable, according to the canons of historical research, to conclude that the sepulcher of Joseph of Arimathea, in which Jesus was buried, was actually empty on the morning of the first Easter. And no shred of evidence has yet been discovered in literary sources, epigraphy, or archaeology that would disprove this statement Picture Quote #1

Sociologists and historians have avoided looking for the family sources of wars and social violence. Whenever a group produces murderers, the early parental relationship must have been abusive and neglectful. Yet this elementary truth has not even begun to be considered in historical research; just stating that poor mothering lies behind wars seems blasphemous Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I have certainly amassed many historical research gathering skills Picture Quote #1

With historicals, the research is half the fun. Contemporaries are especially easy. People are right out there in front of you; you meet them every day. You can concentrate wholly on the story and characters Picture Quote #1

One of the things I enjoy most about writing historical romance is researching inspiring backgrounds and settings Picture Quote #1

I am not a fan of historical fiction that is sloppy in its research or is dishonest about the real history Picture Quote #1

You don’t go to the movies to do historical research, unless it’s historical research about the movies Picture Quote #1

If it is impossible to judge merit and guilt in the field of natural science, then it is not possible in any field, and historical research becomes an idle, empty activity Picture Quote #1

... the discipline of economics has yet to get over its childish passion for mathematics and for purely theoretical and often highly ideological speculation, at the expense of historical research and collaboration with the other social sciences Picture Quote #1

I expressed skepticism, in the first chapter, about the utility of time machines in historical research. I especially advised against graduate students relying on them, because of the limited perspective you tend to get from being plunked down in some particular part of the past, and the danger of not getting back in time for your orals Picture Quote #1

The idea of a method that contains firm, unchanging, and absolutely binding principles for conducting the business of science meets considerable difficulty when confronted with the results of historical research. We find, then, that there is not a single rule, however plausible, and however firmly grounded in epistemology, that is not violated at some time or another Picture Quote #1

Most architects work in studios largely divorced from academia, as if ideas, criticism and historical research were irrelevant Picture Quote #1

And all times are one time, and all those dead in the past never lived before our definition gives them life, and out of the shadow their eyes implore us. That is what all of us historical researchers believe. And we love truth Picture Quote #1
