James P. Carse Quotes

Since History Is The Drama Of Genius, Its Relentless Surprise Tempts Us Into Designing Boundaries For It, Searching Through It For Patterns Of Repetition. Historians Sometimes Speak Of Trends, Of Cycles, Of Currents, Of Forces, As Though They Were Describing Natural Events. In Doing So They Must Dehistoricize Themselves, Taking A Perspective From The Timeless, Believing That Each Observed History Is Always Of Others And Never Of Themselves, That Each Observation Is Of History But Not Itself Historical.
