I love learning. I love history. But there's history in everything. Every building, everybody you talk to. It's not limited to libraries and museums. I think people who spend their lives in school forget that sometimes. -Tak

About This Quote

In the modern world, there is no time for history. With the advent of technology, we have access to so much information at our fingertips. The problem is that there is so much information coming at us every day that we forget to appreciate the little things in life. When someone describes a building as "history" you can assume it's a building from a long time ago. But, when a person describes a building as being from "history", you know that person really means those places have been around for a long time and have been important to the people who have been there before them.
