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."

"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."
