Marc Bloch: French historian who cofounded the Annales school, 1886 to 1944.
Marc Bloch · The source reads: “History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical.… The traces left by past events never move in a straight line, but in a curve that can be extended into the future.” · Strange Defeat (written 1940, published 1946)
That is every quote on the shelf, all 1 of them.
1 quote, dealt in a fresh order every day, so the page reads differently each morning, and every quote keeps its own page.
Every quote on GKBook is traced to the book, speech, letter or interview it came from before it is published. A famous line that cannot be traced is kept because people search for it, but it is labelled "Attributed to", and a line that belongs to someone else is labelled "Often credited to" with the real origin beside it.
