Josiah Bancroft Quotes
It Is Not Cynical To Admit The Past Has Been Turned Into A Fiction. It Is A Story, Not A Fact. The Real Has Been Erased. Whole Eras Have Been Added Or Removed. Wars Have Been Aggrandized, And Human Struggle Relegated To The Margins. Villains Are Redressed As Heroes. Generous, Striving, Imperfect Men And Women Have Been Stripped Of Their Flaws Or Plucked Of Their Virtues And Turned Into Figurines Of Morality Or Depravity. Whole Societies Have Been Fixed With Motive And Visions And Equanimity Where There Was None. Suffering Has Been Recast As Noble Sacrifice! Do You Know Why The History Of The Tower Is In Such Turmoil? Because Too Many Powerful Men Are Fighting For The Pen, Fighting To Write Their Story Over Our Dead Bodies. They Know What Is At Stake: Immortality, The Character Of Civilization, And Influence Beyond The Ages. They Are Fighting To See Who Gets To Mislead Our Grandchildren.
