"History is not about dates, and quotes, and obscure privisos. History is about life, about change, about consequences, cause and effect. It's about the mystery of human nature, the mystery of time. And it isn't just about politics, and the military, and social issues, which is almost always the way it's taught. It's about music and poetry and drama and science and medicine and money and love."
- David McCullough [born 1933]
