About This Quote

History is indeed stranger than fiction. The twists and turns of human history are too outlandish for to be believable in any work of fiction. History actually happens and we can read about it in writings and other media. For the most part, the stories we read in books and see in movies or television shows are not real.

It is fiction. On the other hand, tragedy, such as a plane crash, is true and every once in a while one of these tragedies actually happens to a good person.
