More quotes by Geoffrey Elton
If historians are not skeptical, they are nothing.
Geoffrey Elton
History will help to remedy intellectual faults such as excessive concentration on one line of thought, absence of understanding for other points of view, belief in simple solutions, lack of balance of mind, absence of an imaginative understanding.
Geoffrey Elton
