6 QUOTES WITH «REVISIONIST»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word revisionist.
1
Gerry Adams
We can be revisionist, and that's a good thing to be at times, but we shouldn't airbrush our history, so we can only make judgments in the objective conditions of that time.
2
Douglas Brinkley
It is a long revisionist road up from the bottom for George W. Bush. He is ranked toward the bottom rung of presidents.
3
Martin Filler
We take from the art of the past what we need. The variable posthumous reputations of even the greatest artists and the unpredictable revivals of interest in even the most obscure ones tend to reveal more about those who make revisionist assessments than about those who are being reassessed.
4
Seth Grahame-Smith
There are so many stories to tell in the worlds of science fiction, the worlds of fantasy and horror that to confine yourself to even doing historical revisionist fiction, whatever you want to call it - mash-ups, gimmick lit, absurdist fiction - I don't know if I want to do that anymore.
5
Monica Lewinsky
He could have made it right with the book. But he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied.
6
Mark Shields
Since the election, since the formation of a government, the death in Iraq has increased. The United States stands by, helpless to do anything about it. That's the reality, not George Bush's revisionist history!
