The rise of the West is, quite simply, the pre-eminent historical phenomenon of the second half of the second millennium after Christ.
After all, the past is our only real guide to the future, and historical analogies are instruments for distilling and organizing the past and converting it to a map by which we can navigate.
Together we have come to realize that for most men the right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to attend school.
Only recently serious research into the relationship between photography and art has taken place. Why has it been so long in coming ? In some respects historical research is analogous with that of science. The bringing to light of factual material and the development of ideas is to a large extent cumulative.

The most important element of a free society, where individual rights are held in the highest esteem, is the rejection of the initiation of violence.
Californias red-legged frogs are part of our historical, literary and cultural heritage,. . . It is critically important that we ensure that there will always be frogs jumping here in Calaveras County, and in other places, too.
I feel like it's hard to get into historical novels where you know what the story is far too well.
Research can be a big clunker. It's difficult to know how you can make the historical light.
If Christianity needed an Anti-Christ, they needed look no farther than Paul.
When I think about what really matters, it's not looking at art that has made the most difference or has been most shaping of the poetry; it's simply living as completely in the world as a politically alert creature, as someone who is both stuck in and also trying to view the historical moment. Folded into all of that, of course, whatever you see in your life.
On the basis of my historical experience, I fully believe that mathematics of the 25th century will be as different from that of today as the latter is from that of the 16th century.
