Revisionist Quotes

“SAINT, n. A dead sinner revised and edited.”
― Ambrose Bierce, The Unabridged Devil's Dictionary

“History is a chaotic system. The details can shift endlessly, but the overall shape remains constant. Make a small change in the past, and it changes enough details in the present that we would not have come together at exactly this place and time to watch exactly this scene. And yet the great movements of history would be largely unchanged.”
― Orson Scott Card, Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus

“The accumulated weight of untold centuries carried forward on the shoulders and in the stories of the hundreds of millions of people who lived those centuries is massive. And should any historical revisionist attempt to author an alternative version, their pen is certain to snap under such a weight. And ultimately, so will their reputation.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
