Quotes by John Zanetti

“If we forget our past, then we lose direction. We become lost on a changing sea, easy prey for the shifting currents of the moment.”

“Even if the past exists as an independent reality outside the minds of those who write about it, we can never know that reality. Historians and writers of historical fiction attempt to fill in the gaps, to say: ‘This is how it might have been.’ ”
