Quote by Marc Bloch

"History is not the past. It is the study of the past."

"The historian's task is to understand men, not to judge them."

"A document is not an inert mass of inert data to be manipulated at will by the historian."

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

"Fear drives civilization. Without it, there is only chaos."

"Order through chaos. That's the only real answer."

"Politics and power corrupt when they're separated from purpose."

"The system isn't broken—it was built this way. We have to rebuild it."
