Quotes from Tacitus


I have recently finished reading The Annals of Imperial of Rome by Tacitus and have found a few quotes from it.


"Yet even apparently insignificant events such as these are worth examination. For they often cause major historical developments."


"For things unnoticed are forgotten; resentment confers status upon them."


"The senate ordered his books to be burnt by the aediles. But they survived, first hidden and later republished. This makes one deride the stupidity of people who believe that today's authority can destroy tomorrow's memories."
