Thursday's Quote

Plutarch was a Greek historian of the first century AD. Even back then, though, they mustve had their own Dick Cheneys monkeying with the record, otherwise, why would he have written the following:

"So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the
truth of anything by history, when, on the one hand,
those who afterwards write it find long periods of time
intercepting their views, and, on the other hand, the
contemporary records of any actions and lives, partly
through envy and ill-will, partly through favor and
flattery, pervert and distort the truth."
