Quote by Theodore Bikel
In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares

In my world, history comes down to language and art. No one cares much about what battles were fought, who won them and who lost them – unless there is a painting, a play, a song or a poem that speaks of the event. – Theodore Bikel
