All history is contemporary history.

We shall not understand the history of men and other times unless we ourselves are alive to the requirements which that history satisfied.

The translation called good has original value as a work of art.

Art is ruled uniquely by the imagination.

The writing of histories - as Goethe once noted - is one way of getting rid of the weight of the past.... The writing of history liberates us from history.

All history is contemporary history.

This is a mission and a vision to do good as well as doing well.
