Quote by Eric Hobsbawm

"The most important thing is to understand the past, for it alone illuminates the present and gives meaning to the future."

"Without education, we cannot build the future we need."

"History is not what happened, but what is recorded."

"The world changes, and we must change with it or be left behind."

"The best part of living is knowing you survived."

"The world needs heroes."

"Life is too short to live poorly."

"I'd rather be an optimist and be wrong than a pessimist and be right"
