历史
History is alive in the stories we tell.
History is not just about kings and battles—it's about the people who lived through it.
"Memory is a strange thing. It doesn’t work like I thought it did. We don’t remember, we rewrite memory much as history is rewritten. To remember is to remake, to reimagine."
"History is the echo of voices we can no longer hear."
"History is not what happened but what survives the shipwreck."
"History is not just about the past; it's about how the past shapes the present."
History is not just a record of events; it is the soul of a people, their dreams and struggles.
The true history of a people is written in the margins of official history.
I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to live.
"History is not just what happened, but what we remember and how we remember it."
"History is the present projected backwards."
"Geschichte wird von denen geschrieben, die sie überleben."
There is no history except as it is composed.
The historian will tell you what happened. The novelist will tell you what it felt like.
History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.
