"History is not an exact science. Although it is claimed to be a science, it is not, but it uses scientific methods. It is knowledge and poetry. That knowledge is not only intended for the satisfaction of researchers, professors or scholars. It has also the purpose of revealing the mysteries of the past, the birth and decline of powers, the behavior and the reasons for the small and big 'actors', the causes and the consequences. It has a function to make light of ourselves and the uncertain world in which we live. That knowledge can give us our broken memory. Proceeds for analogies and comparisons. It's not neutral. It is creator of meaning."
-Dominique Venner
