Ian Kershaw
“Consistent only with his own warped and peculiar brand of logic, he was prepared to take measures with such far-reaching consequences for the German population that the very survival he claimed to be fighting for was fundamentally threatened. Ultimately, the continued existence of the German people – if it showed itself incapable of defeating its enemies – was less important to him than the refusal to capitulate.”
Ian Kershaw, Hitler, Vol. 2: 1936-1945 Nemesis

“Europeans showed in 1900 much the same confidence in the continuing success of their culture as the Chinese elite had shown in theirs a century earlier. The past, they were sure, proved them right.”
J.M. Roberts, The Penguin History of the World

Georgia   Scott
“Before there is science, there are stories to explain the world. They make it happier somehow.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me

W. Somerset Maugham
“The most difficult thing for a wise woman to do is to pretend to be a foolish one.”
W. Somerset Maugham, Mrs Craddock

Agostinho da Silva
“I am not interested in being original. I am interested in being true.”
Agostinho da Silva
