Students will start finding history interesting when their teachers and textbooks stop lying to them.

History is important. More than any other topic, it is about us. Whether one deems our present society wondrous or awful or both, history reveals how we got to this point.

Conclusions are not always pleasant.

I'm looking forward to the future, which is a good thing, because it's coming.

History can be a weapon, and it can be used against you.
