Norman Davies Zitate

Traditionally, historians thought in terms of invasions: the Celts took over the islands, then the Romans, then the Anglo-Saxons. It now seems much more likely that the resident population doesn't change as much as thought. The people stay put but are reculturalized by some new dominant culture.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Historiker dachten traditionell über Invasionen: Die Kelten übernahmen die Inseln, dann die Römer, dann die Angelsachsen. Es scheint jetzt viel wahrscheinlicher, dass sich die Wohnbevölkerung nicht so sehr ändert wie gedacht. Die Menschen bleiben stehen, werden aber von einer neuen dominanten Kultur rekulturellisiert.

Back in the days, we had to work with a shoestring budget. We had a movie screen, and we'd show movie trailers on them, and then we'd rip through it and started playing. Now we have a little money to play with to do a cool stage set.

The people who run record companies now wouldn't know a song if it flew up their nose and died. They haven't a clue, and they don't care. You tell them that, and they go, Yeah? So, your point is?

Well, I think people don't recognise my face because I'm so much older now, but it is astonishing that people can recognise a voice. I do sometimes get recognised, and indeed a lot of people do come and see me.

The essence of a person is not the clothing she wears or the things he does. People who love them do not stop loving them when they change clothing or do other things. Your essence is not even your history, culture, race, or what you think and do. It is your soul.
