Quote by Lucien Febvre

"History is not the past. It is the present and the future too."

"To be a historian is to be a man committed to truth."

"Understanding the past requires imagination as much as scholarship."

"History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives."

"I've seen a lot of things in my time."

"That's how we archaeologists tell time."

"We must learn from history or be doomed to repeat it."

"Every artifact tells a story."
