More quotes by Marc Bloch
"Misunderstanding of the present is the inevitable consequence of ignorance of the past.
For in the last analysis it is human consciousness which is the subject matter of history.
"There is no true understanding without a certain range of comparison."
"The historian is, by definition, absolutely incapable of observing the facts which he examines."
