1. Observations by Mr Dooley: “ I know history isn’t true Hinnessy, cause it ain’t like what I see every day in Halstead Street. If a man comes along with a history for Greece or Rome that’ll show me the people fightin’, getting’ drunk, makin’ love, getting’ married, owin’ the grocery man, and bein’ without hard coal, I’ll believe there was a Greece or Rome but not before…. History is a post mortem examination. It tells you what a country died for. But I’d like to know what a country lived for!” ~Caroline Ware, The Cultural Approach to History

2. Understanding History “…only a part of what was observed in the past was remembered by those who observed it; only a part of what was remembered was recorded; only a part of what was recorded has survived; only a part of what has survived has come to the historian’s attention; only a part of what has come to their attention is credible; only a part of what is credible has been grasped or can be expounded or narrated by the historian” ~ Louis Gottschalk
