"No great column of facts can ever pose as the truth. Truth is order imposed on those facts; truth is the breath of life breathed into facts…. The truth is the way you feel about it.”
"History at its best is an approximation, but that's no reason for not trying. And I think we can approach the truth even if we can't present it. And of course, my truth would be different from yours."
--Shelby Foote
