Quotes to ponder:
"History stalking is a way of studying great and impactful people from the past as if you’re their stalker."
"Knowing someone’s work, their accomplishments, doesn’t provide you with enough context to understand why they did what they did."
"The more you understand about someone’s world, the more sense their choices make."
