Why do beautiful women love ugly men? Picture Quote #1

In antihistory, time is an illusion Picture Quote #1

History is hereditary only in this way: we, all of us, inherit everything, and then we choose what to cherish, what to disavow, and what do do next, which is why it’s worth trying to know where things come from Picture Quote #1

The study of history requires investigation, imagination, empathy, and respect. Reverence just doesnt enter into it Picture Quote #1

History is the art of making an argument about the past by telling a story accountable to evidence. In the writing of history, a story without an argument fades into antiquarianism; an argument without a story risks pedantry. Writing history requires empathy, inquiry, and debate. It requires forswearing condescension, cant, and nostalgia. The past isn’t quaint. Much of it, in fact, is bleak Picture Quote #1

We have hands that must work, brains that must think, and personalities that must be developed Picture Quote #1

Reviewing a book written by someone you’re living with and sleeping with is, needless to say, wrong Picture Quote #1

You can be strong as any boy if you’ll work hard and train yourself in athletics, the way boys do Picture Quote #1

Stages of life are artifacts. Adolescence is a useful contrivance, midlife is a moving target, senior citizens are an interest group, and tweenhood is just plain made up Picture Quote #1

The world may not be getting better and better, but our devices are getting newer and newer Picture Quote #1

Epidemiologists study patterns in order to combat infection. Stories about epidemics follow patterns, too. Stories arent often deadly, but they can be virulent: spreading fast, weakening resistance, wreaking havoc Picture Quote #1

Folklore used to be passed by word of mouth, from one generation to the next; thats what makes it folklore, as opposed to, say, history, which is written down and stored in an archive Picture Quote #1
