More From Ken Burns
- "I began to feel that the drama of the truth that is in the moment and in the past is richer and more interesting than the drama of Hollywood movies. So I began looking at documentary films."
- "History is malleable. A new cache of diaries can shed new light, and archeological evidence can challenge our popular assumptions."
- "Good history is a question of survival. Without any past, we will deprive ourselves of the defining impression of our being."
