Whatever you do, crush the infamous thing, and love those who love you.
History is a pack of lies we play on the dead.
We should be considerate to the living; to the dead we owe only the truth.
I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms.
An admiral should be put to death now and then to encourage the others.
History is the recital of facts represented as true. Fable, on the other hand, is the recital of facts represented as fiction.
