What is history after all? History is facts which become lies in the end; legends are lies which become history in the end.
Jean Cocteau
Quote of the day
An Indian's dress of deer skins, which is wet a hundred times upon his back, dries soft; and his lodge also, which stands in the rains, and even through the severity of winter, is taken down as soft and as clean as when it was first put up.
