My favorite actors from history have to be Steve McQueen and James Dean.”

“We are not makers of history. We are made by history.”

“Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.”

“Open your refrigerator door, and you summon forth more light than the total amount enjoyed by most households in the 18th century. The world at night, for much of history, was a very dark place indeed.”
