"History is a vast early warning system".
- Norman Cousins
"History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of 'history', it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole generation comes to a head on a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time - and which never explains in retrospect what actually happened".
- Hunter S. Thompson
"We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it".
- John F. Kennedy
