Website title:

History is the most dangerous outcome that the mind's chemistry has ever elaborated. [...] It creates mental images, it intoxicates peoples, it provides them with false memories, it exaggerates their reflexes, it sustains their old wounds, it torments their peace, it drives them into the ecstasy of grandeur or persecution, and it renders nations bitter, magnificent, obnoxious, and conceited.
History justifies whatever we instruct her to justify. Strictly speaking, it teaches us nothing, because it embodies everything, and it provides models of everything.

~ Paul Valery
