Quotes from Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.

History is full of surprises.

Science and technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response.

The dialectic between past and future will continue to form our lives.

The genius of impeachment lay in the fact that it could punish the man without punishing the office.
