Quotes by J.R. Vincent  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“History is about winners, not about losers. History is about assessing distortions, not copying out truths. History has much to say about the way the powerful handle power, for power engenders records. History is about evidence, and evidence flagrantly distorts. There is a bias between winners and losers. History is hopeless on love, but excellent on hatred. Such a state of things may not please all, but then history was never meant to please. One-sidedness lies at the heart of historical knowledge.”
J. R. Vincent, An Intelligent Person's Guide to History

“There is no parochialism like the parochialism of the present.”
J.R. Vincent, An Intelligent Person's Guide to History
