History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books—books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe.
历史总是由胜利者书写。当两种文化冲突时，失败者会被抹去，而胜利者则书写历史书籍——这些书籍美化他们的事业，贬低被征服的敌人。
"A child who reads will be an adult who thinks."

"I'm not perfect, but I'm perfectly me."
