If somebody tells you ‘History will never forgive you, ’ just laugh at him! Because when the history comes, you won’t be here! The threat of history never forgives you is a useless threat!

About This Quote

Agnelo Matos, a Brazilian writer and historian, said: “If somebody tells you ‘History will never forgive you,’ just laugh at him! Because when the history comes, you won’t be here! The threat of history never forgives you is a useless threat!” The idea of history as a threat is a common theme in literature. In fact, it’s a staple of some of the best novels ever written. In A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge is warned by ghosts that he will be haunted by his past sins. In The Odyssey by Homer, Odysseus is warned that he will be haunted by the ghosts of those he has killed.

These examples show us that we can’t live our lives in fear of what is to come. We must live each day to the fullest no matter what has happened in the past or what might happen in the future.
