Ernest Hemingway, American Novelist

"The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time. An hour, once it lodges in the queer element of the human spirit, may be stretched to fifty or a hundred times its clock length; on the other hand, an hour may be accurately represented on the timepiece of the mind by one second."

Virginia Woolf, British Author

"In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not."

Design

"I have nothing revolutionary or even novel to offer."

Nothing

"With honesty of purpose, balance, a respect for tradition, courage, and, above all, a philosophy of life, any young person who embraces the historical profession will find it rich in rewards and durable in satisfaction."

Life

"Yet enthusiasm is no excuse for the historian going off balance. He should remind the reader that outcomes were neither inevitable nor foreordained, but subject to a thousand changes and chances."

Enthusiasm

"Historical methodology, as I see it, is a product of common sense applied to circumstances."

Circumstance

"Intellectual honesty is the quality that the public in free countries always has expected of historians; much more than that it does not expect, nor often get."

Quality

"So I have cultivated the vast garden of human experience which is history, without troubling myself overmuch about laws, essential first causes, or how it is all coming out."

Experience

"Throughout this evolution from left to right, Beard always detested war. Hence his writings were slanted to show that the military side of history was insignificant or a mere reflection of economic forces."

History

"Skepticism is an important historical tool. It is the starting point of all revision of hitherto accepted history."

"Everyone agrees to that; but when we come to define truth, dissension starts."
