Simon Schama Quotes

Historians Like A Quiet Life, And Usually They Get It. For The Most Part, History Moves At A Deliberate Pace, Working Its Changes Subtly And Incrementally. Nations And Their Institutions Harden Into Shape Or Crumble Away Like Sediment Carried By The Flow Of A Sluggish River. English History In Particular Seems The Work Of A Temperate Community, Seldom Shaken By Convulsions. But There Are Moments When History Is Unsubtle; When Change Arrives In A Violent Rush, Decisive, Bloody, Traumatic; As A Truck-load Of Trouble, Wiping Out Everything That Gives A Culture Its Bearings - Custom, Language, Law, Loyalty. 1066 Was One Of Those Moments.
