“A nation which fails to adequately remember salient points of
its own history, is like a person with Alzheimer's. And that can be a
social disease of a most destructive nature.”
S.M. Sigerson, The Assassination of Michael Collins: What Happened At Béal na mBláth?

“History repeats itself. As do the methods used by those specializing in the elimination of leaders who unite people into a strong force for dignity, justice and self-determination.”
S.M. Sigerson, The Assassination of Michael Collins: What Happened at Béal na mBláth?

“Captivating to men, Anne was also sharp, assertive, subtle, calculating, vindictive, a power dresser and a power player, perhaps a figure to be more admired than liked.”
Eric Ives, The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn

“History repeats itself. As do the methods used by those specializing in the elimination of leaders who unite people into a strong force for dignity, justice and self-determination.”
S.M. Sigerson, The Assassination of Michael Collins: What Happened at Béal na mBláth?

“In history, as in traveling, men usually see only what they already had in their own minds; and few learn much from history, who do not bring much with them to its study.”
John Stuart Mill, The Subjection of Women

“The best index to a person's character is how he treats people who can't do him any good, and how he treats people who can't fight back.”
