History is a living horse laughing at a wooden horse. history is a wind blowing where it listeth. history is no sure thing to bet on. history is a box of tricks with a lost key. history is a labyrinth of doors with sliding panels, a book of ciphers with the code in a cave of the saragossa sea. history says, if it pleases, excuse me, i beg your pardon, it will never happen again if i can help it.

We know only a single science, the science of history. history can be contemplated from two sides, it can be divided into the history of nature and the history of mankind. however, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.

The settler makes history and is conscious of making it. and because he constantly refers to the history of his mother country, he clearly indicates that he himself is the extension of that mother country. thus the history which he writes is not the history of the country which he plunders but the history of his own nation in regard to all that she skims off, all that she violates and starves.
Country Mother Writing
I don’t know much about history, and i wouldn’t give a nickel for all the history in the world. it means nothing to me. history is more or less bunk. it's tradition. we don't want tradition. we want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.

I just find it crazy what people will critique you on, and you have to take it with a grain of salt. i could be curing cancer, and i would be shunned for it. i mean, that's just the truth. people are crazy, but i like to say for every hater i have 100 people that love me and they think it's motivational, so i try to focus on that. but it's sometimes hard, you know?

Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. they show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.

People ask, 'why would you cast yourself in your movie?' and, for me, it's more like an achievement that i am now not playing all the parts, you know? like i was for so long, in all my performances and a lot of my short movies. so, that's where i'm coming from, not out of a kind of actress-y sense of myself. i mean, i don't really see myself as an actress, but more from performance: this is how you make something. you do it yourself. you're in it and you write it. i think i keep doing it that way, 'cause it's my way. it's what makes me feel like i know how to do it.
