Quote

As a young man, I was very interested in how people lived in earlier times how they got from place to place, lighted their homes, cooked their meals and so on. So I went to the history books. Well, I could find out all about kings and presidents but I could learn nothing of their everyday lives. So I decided that history is bunk.
