“Things just happen, one after another. They don’t care who knows. But _history_ . . . ah, history is different. History has to be observed. Otherwise it’s not history. It’s just . . . well, things happening one after another.” -Terry Pratchett
[History has a sense of import about it that the events may not have had at the time. It was just things happening. But, then, we learned the importance after the fact.]
