"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?'"
(A crowd gathered around the Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre)
-Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code
