  24. The narcissist sees the world—both the past and the present—in his own image. Mature historical knowing teaches us to do the opposite: to go beyond our own image, to go beyond our brief life, and to go beyond the fleeting moment in human history into which we have been born. History educates in the deepest sense. --Sam Wineburg Historical Thinking and Other Unnatural Acts Charting the Future of Teaching the Past (2001) p. 24
