Marshall McLuhanOnly the vanquished remember history.
About This Quote
Only the vanquished remember history. This phrase is a quote from Julius Caesar, and it expresses the idea that only those who lose should be remembered. It’s no surprise that such a quote came from such a man. He was known as the “butcher of Gaul” and was one of the most famous conquerors of his time. As you can imagine, he wasn’t all that concerned with how he might be remembered.
