I only have a small obsession with quotes

Apparently postmodernists weren't the first ones to challenge the validity of history.
I laugh at the irony in that we can't be certain whether these historical quotes are accurate either. 

"The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid prejudice." — Mark Twain

"History is more or less bunk" — Henry Ford

"What is history but a fable agreed upon?" — Napoleon Bonaparte

"Historian: an unsuccessful novelist" — H. L. Mencken

"History is an account, mostly false, of events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools." — Ambrose Bierce

"History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies." — Alexis de Tocqueville

"History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man." — Percy Bysshe Shelly
