Senior Scribe is pointing to quotes about history.

It has only just begun to dawn on us that in our own language alone, not to speak of its many companions, the past history of humanity is spread out in an imperishable map, just as the history of the mineral earth lies embedded in the layers of its outer crust.

—Owen Barfield, History in English Words, 1926

History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.

—Edward Gibbon, 1737-1794

History, in the human sense, is a language net cast backwards.

—George Steiner, 1975
