I love

Historians. Because they're soo snarky. A quote: "In spite of Cicero's view that historians should adhere to the truth, it doesn't seem to have occurred to him, or to anyone else in the ancient world, that a fabricator of history might not deserve to be called its father." Who gets to say things like that? And you can make fun of Cicero and Herodotus all you want because they're dead and so won't rip you apart in their next publication. I love it.
