Voltaire:
“Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.”
“En effet, l’histoire n’est que le tableau des crimes et des malheurs.” (The Sincere Huron / L’Ingénu, 1767, ch.10)
This is apparently a sound observation, but an incomplete one.
History is also a tableau of fighting crimes and overcoming misfortunes.
