A Pondering Mind

A little of this. A little of that.

“History is the most dangerous product which the chemistry of the mind has concocted. Its properties are well known. It produces dreams and drunkenness. It fills people with false memories, exaggerates their reactions, exacerbates old grievances, torments them in their repose, and encourages either a delirium of grandeur or a delusion of persecution. It makes whole nations bitter, arrogant, insufferable and vainglorious.” ~ Paul Valery

    And men wrote it in their own image. Herstory is new. It’s as if women never existed before. So his-tory is insane because those who wrote it were selfish and insane. I love this. Your quotes are excellent.
