About This Quote

History written in pencil is easily erased, but crayon is forever. The quote means that when people write something down in a book, it may be changed or deleted, but since it’s made with crayon it is permanent and cannot be changed. It is also true that when we write something down in a book, we can change or delete it. However, many things we say and do are remembered and seen by others for a long time.
