"If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten." ― Rudyard Kipling Topic(s): History Tags: history, taught More From Rudyard Kipling "He travels the fastest who travels alone." "Borrow trouble for yourself, if that’s your nature, but don’t lend it to your neighbours." "San Francisco is a mad city – inhabited for the most part by perfectly insane people whose women are of a remarkable beauty." More In History "But we cannot rely on memorials and museums alone. We can tell ourselves we will never forget and we likely won’t. But we need to make sure that we teach history to those who never had the opportunity to remember in the first place."― Dan Rather "History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this."― Karl Marx "September 11 was terrible but, if one goes back over the history of the IRA, what happened to the Americans wasn’t that terrible."― Doris Lessing
