Helen Cam quotes:

Civilization is the art of living together with people not entirely like oneself.

Historical fiction is not only a respectable literary form; it is a standing reminder of the fact that history is about human beings.

As soon as you begin to say We have always done things this way -- perhaps that might be a better way, conscious law-making is beginning. As soon as you begin to say We do things this way -- they do things that way -- what is to be done about it? men are beginning to feel towards justice, that resides between the endless jar of right and wrong.
