About this Quote

This quote by Sarah Vowell talks to the idea of how remote and removed a few of the most influential figures in history can appear. Jesus, Lincoln, Moses, and Jefferson are all figures that have had an incredible impact on the world, yet they are so far gotten rid of from our present truth that they can seem almost amazing. It is easy to forget that these figures were when real people, living and breathing, and that their legacies have actually been given through the generations. The quote works as a reminder that although these figures may seem long gone and dead, their influence still lives on the planet today. It is necessary to bear in mind the impact that these figures have actually had and to continue to honor their legacies.
