Be sure to watch full screen. These are awesome. What people and things really looked like. Tolstoy with his grandchildren. Darwin, Lincoln, Tesla. A Civil War battlefield. The (horse-drawn) cab stand at Madison Square Park. Boxing before it was regulated. And so much more. Even this quote from Albert Einstein, refusing surgery: “I want to go when I want. It is tasteless to prolong life artificially. I have done my share, it is time to go. I will do it elegantly.”*
Nine minutes. Have a great day.
*The quote appears to be true. The caption, “pictured with his therapist,” is not. As best I can Google, Einstein had no therapist.
Quote of the Day
The only money that's tainted is money that taint mine or taint enough.
