Simon Schama

Citas

• “Historians are left forever chasing shadows, painfully aware of their inability ever to reconstruct a dead world in its completeness however thorough or revealing their documentation.”

• “If there’s one four-letter word that runs through my television history, oddly it is “Rome”. Over time, I came to realise that Rome doesn’t just come and go in England’s history; instead, we have had an extended love-hate relationship with Rome, whether as empire or church.”

• “Right through British history we see this constant pull between piety and pragmatism, between deference to the monarch as a godlike figure, and a requirement that he runs the business of Albion with practical efficiency.”
