Quotes by Jonathan Rose (?)

“Historians, as Robert Darnton observed in 1980, 'want to penetrate the mental world of ordinary persons as well as philosophers, but they keep running into the vast silence that has swallowed up most of mankind's thinking.”
― Jonathan Rose, The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes

“Like his fellow inmates, Churchill was driven by an 鈥渆arnest desire to do something, however small, for the British cause,鈥� with one important difference: 鈥淥f course, I am a man of peace. I do not fight. But swords are not the only weapons in the world. Something may be done with a pen.”
― Jonathan Rose, The Literary Churchill: Author, Reader, Actor
