Quotes by Richard Fidler (?)

“...without a grasp of the flow of events that have carried us to the present da, we are all a bit untethered from our place in time and space, condemned to live in an eternal present.”
― Richard Fidler, Ghost Empire

“Professional historians approach such stories with great caution, knowing there will certainly be many fake baubles in the pile. Some accounts will be almost entirely untrue. All will be somewhat distorted according to the prejudices of the author and the political requirements of the moment. Different accounts must be weighed against each other, as well as the documentary evidence and the archaeological record. Sometimes the surviving records are scant and confusing.”
