A chronicle is very different from history proper.

A chronicle is very different from history proper.

Summary

A chronicle refers to a written account of events in the order of their occurrence, focusing on specific dates and timelines. It provides a detailed record of events but lacks the analysis and interpretation often found in history proper. While a chronicle presents factual information, history proper goes beyond the narration of events and seeks to understand the historical context, causes, and consequences. It incorporates various sources, perspectives, and scholarly research to create a deeper understanding of the past. Therefore, a chronicle is a straightforward record of events, while history proper involves critical analysis and a broader examination of historical phenomena.

I never think it's right to chew gum in front of other people, but a lot of times I'll come in for a meeting chewing gum and I'll forget I'm chewing it. Then you don't want to swallow it because it stays in your system for seven years or something, so I've asked to throw it away. I've started to wonder if that's why I didn't get certain movies.

Were I to deduce any system from my feelings on leaving Eton

Were I to deduce any system from my feelings on leaving Eton, it might be called The Theory of Permanent Adolescence. It is the theory that the experiences undergone by boys at the great public schools, their glories and disappointments, are so intense as to dominate their lives and to arrest their development. From these it results that the greater part of the ruling class remains adolescent, school-minded, self-conscious, cowardly, sentimental, and in the last analysis homosexual.
