“History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books-books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, 'What is history, but a fable agreed upon?”
― Dan Brown, The da Vinci Code

“What is history but a fable agreed upon?”
― Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle

“Napoleon once said, "What is history, but a fable agreed upon?" He smiled. "By its very nature, history is always a one-sided account.”
― Dan Brown, The da Vinci Code

“التاريخ ليس سوى كذبة متفق عليها !
(نابليون بونابرت)

What is history but a fable agreed upon.”
― Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle

“Meaning that history is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books—books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, ‘What is history, but a fable agreed upon?’ ” He smiled. “By its very nature, history is always a one-sided account.” Sophie had never thought of it that way.”
― Dan Brown
