    —James Boswell (1740–1795)

    “People accept a representation in which the elements of wish and fantasy are purposely included but which nevertheless proclaims to represent “the past” and to serve as a guide-rule for life, thereby hopelessly confusing the spheres of knowledge and will.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
