Quote by Fernand Braudel

"History is a set of lies agreed upon."

"The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there."

"Geography is destiny."

"Civilizations are mortal like men."

"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"
