“I don’t know much about history and I wouldn’t give a nickel for all the history in the world. It means nothing to me. History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition.

Comment by 誰還記得北婆羅州？ on February 8, 2024 at 8:40pm: It is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours

“The best moments in reading are when you come across something – a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things – which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.” Alan Bennett, English playwright (1934- )

“History is a vast early warning system.” Norman Cousins, American journalist (1915-1990)

“If you don’t know history, it’s as if you were born yesterday. If you were born yesterday then any leader can tell you anything.” Howard Zinn, American historian (1924-2010)

“What is the use trying to describe the flowing of a river at any one moment, and then at the next moment, and then at the next, and the next, and the next? You wear out. You say ‘There is a great river and it flows through this land, and we have named it History’.” Ursula K. Le Guin, American writer (1929-2018)

“Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.” Confucius, Chinese teacher and philosopher (551-479 BC)

Comment by 誰還記得北婆羅州？ on February 7, 2024 at 1:14pm: All historical writing, even the most honest, is unconsciously subjective.

“The truth that all historical writing, even the most honest, is unconsciously subjective, since every age is bound, in spite of itself, to make the dead perform whatever tricks it finds necessary for its own peace of mind.” Carl Becker, American historian (1873-1945)

“History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books-books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe.” Dan Brown, American novelist (1964- )

“History is a jangle of accidents, blunders, surprises and absurdities, and so is our knowledge of it, but if we are to report it at all we must impose some order upon it.” Henry Steele Commager, American historian (1902-1998)

“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana, American philosopher (1863-1952)

“Perhaps the cause of our contemporary pessimism is our tendency to view history as a turbulent stream of conflicts — between individuals in economic life, between groups in politics, between creeds in religion, between states in war. This is the more dramatic side of history; it captures the eye of the historian and the interest of the reader… History has been too often a picture of the bloody stream. The history of civilization is a record of what happened on the banks.” Will Durant, American writer (1885-1981)

“If you want to understand today you have to search yesterday.” Pearl S. Buck, American novelist (1892-1973)

“[History is] an account, mostly false, of events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools.” Ambrose Bierce, American satirist (1842-1914)

Comment by 誰還記得北婆羅州？ on February 6, 2024 at 4:19pm: History is a map of the past for the modern traveller

“One of the deepest impulses in man is the impulse to record, to scratch a drawing on a tusk or keep a diary… The enduring value of the past is, one might say, the very basis of civilisation.” John Jay Chapman, American author (1862-1933)

“History is not the past but a map of the past, drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveller.” Henry Glassie, US historian (1941- )

“History is the story of events, with praise or blame.” Cotton Mather, American writer and politician (1663-1728)

Comment by 誰還記得北婆羅州？ on February 4, 2024 at 11:07am: Echoes of Time: Reflecting on History's Lessons by Dr. Tan Beng Huat

1. History is essentially the interpretation of materials uncovered and studied by historians. We should always value the honest work of academics, regardless of personal biases.

2. Historical materials encompass artifacts and various forms of literature such as books, journals, reports, and documents.

3. The sources of these findings are crucial for understanding context.

4. Importantly, history isn't solely about the past; it also informs our understanding of the future.

5. In the past, whenever Malaysians engage in debates about the "true history," it often leads to bitterness and complicates our collective efforts for a better future.

6. In Chinese philosophy, history and poetics are intertwined. Just as poets craft their perceptions of reality through words, rhythm, and mood, historians do the same through research, interpretation, and advocacy.

7. Our ancestors' history should guide us toward a noble purpose of creating a better future for all.

8. The 50th anniversary of Malaysia-China diplomatic friendship provides an opportune moment to articulate this vision.

9. Let's kick-start our efforts right after Chinese New Year 2024. May it be the greatest gift for the Year of the Dragon.(4.12.2024)

Comment by 誰還記得北婆羅州？ on February 3, 2024 at 12:07pm: Lap of Luxury – Origin & Meaning by Candace Osmond

What does lap of luxury mean? I can assure you it doesn’t involve a luxury lap pool or a lap-sized serving of luxury chocolates. We use this phrase in English to describe a condition of amazing comfort and extravagance. So, let’s dive into the plush cushions of this idiom, explore its origin, and look at some alternative ways to say it and how to use it in a sentence.

The idiom lap of luxury is meant to describe a state of opulence or extravagant comfort. Picture this: lounging on a sun-kissed beach, sipping cocktails, with no worries in the world. That’s the lap of luxury. It’s where many of us aspire to be, but few find ourselves.

I often think of my trip to Cuba years ago. I’d just had my second kid, and work was crazy, so the trip was well-deserved. We stayed at a five-star resort, had zero responsibilities or places to be, and food and drinks were brought to us by the pool each day. That was the lap of luxury, and I’ll never forget it!

Comment by 誰還記得北婆羅州？ on February 3, 2024 at 10:56am: What's in a name?

"Metaphors are the organizing tool for cultural communication and political discourse. No political or social change takes place without effective use of metaphor."

The Metaphor Project

(born at a Natural Step Open Space Conference in Berkeley, CA, 1997)

“Metaphors are a special form of presentation natural to many cultures. They are of unique importance as a means of communicating complex notions, especially in interdisciplinary and multicultural dialogue, as well as in the popularization of abstract concepts, in political discourse and as part of any creative process. They offer the special advantage of calling upon a pre-existing capacity to comprehend complexity, rather than assuming that people need to engage in lengthy educational processes before being able to comprehend.” （Governance through Metaphor Project）

Models, analogies and metaphors, from Physics to Poetry, of which involve a Source Target relationship. There is a translation from the established aura of facts, regularities, mechanisms and meanings of the Source to those of the Target. This translation suggests a means of transferring inferences for the Source into inferences for the Target. （Paraphrased from Emergence-From Chaos to Order by John Holland）
