Citas selectas de Andrew Roberts

"Words are the things that [Churchill and Napoleon] can leave behind, that no one can take away.  They are the ultimate monument."

"[Churchill] said to his wife, I should have made nothing if I had not made mistakes.  Many of his failures were his own fault, were things that he had started or he had been the key person behind that later turned out to be terrible...but the great thing was he learned from all of them."

"[Churchill] was able to use his knowledge of the past, this study of history, to recognize a danger--a hegemonic danger to the European continent--and that was primarily through his historical knowledge and understanding."
