Sam,
I haven't read it. But I like this line: “History isn’t the lies of the victors … It’s more the memories of the survivors, most of whom are neither victorious nor defeated.”
I used to think I could remember everything, just as it was. But now I realize I almost always get even my sense of the present wrong, so how could I possibly have any accurate remembrance of things past? No matter how many Madeleines I eat...
Thanks,
Bill
