The gravest error a thinking person can make is to believe that one particular version of history is absolute fact. History is recorded by a series of observers, none of whom is impartial. The facts are distorted by sheer passage of time. The wise person, then, views history as a set of lessons to be learned, choices and ramification to be considered and discussed, and mistake that should never again be made. - Dune, The Battle of Corrin.
