History takes time. History makes memory.

Summary

This quote implies that the study of history is a gradual process that requires time and patience. It suggests that through the passage of time, events and experiences become part of collective memory, giving rise to a deeper understanding of the past. History is not an instant or fleeting observation, but a long-standing process of creating and preserving a narrative of human experiences and achievements. Only over time can the significance and impact of historical events be fully realized and appreciated.

He felt his heart pounding fiercely in his chest. How strange that in his dread of death, it pumped all the harder, valiantly keeping him alive. But it would have to stop, and soon.

A mistake which is commonly made about neurotics is to suppose that they are interesting. It is not interesting to be always unhappy, engrossing with oneself, malignant and ungrateful, and never quite in touch with reality.
