Lailah Gifty AkitaThe event of history is hidden in time.
About This Quote
History is an endless cycle of events, but it is hidden in time. We see the history of what has happened, but we do not see the history of what will happen. We can only look forward to the future and what will come after. Therefore, we can only catch glimpses of this hidden past and future through the written word and the things that people say.
