'History enables us to view ourselves and society in a proper perspective, to focus on human motives and the consequences of them for other individuals or for society, and to enhance our knowledge of the potential, as well as the limitations, of human actions.'
McDowell, M. (2001) Historical research: A Guide. London: Longman.
'What's miraculous is not that great graphic design, employing shock, wit, and clarity borne of urgency, can move people to action, to acts of courage and sacrifice, overcoming habit and fear. [...] What's truly miraculous is that, as hard as it is to make the perfect poster - and it must be immensely hard - someone nearly always seems to be on hand to do the job when the time demands it.'
