More From Ken Burns
- "Good history is a question of survival. Without any past, we will deprive ourselves of the defining impression of our being."
- "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."
- "You can learn as much about the history from reading about the present as you can vice versa, that is learning about the present through history, which is what I do for a living."
