About this Quote

This quote by George W. Bush speaks to the idea that the real history of his administration will not be understood till much later in time. He acknowledges that he and the individual he is speaking to will not be alive to witness the true history of his administration being written. This quote suggests that the history of his administration will be evaluated in a different way in the future than it is today. It recommends that the true history of his administration will be exposed in the future, and that it may be various from the current narrative. This quote likewise suggests that the true history of his administration will be judged more objectively in the future, as the people writing it will not be influenced by the exact same predispositions and prejudices that exist today. Ultimately, this quote serves as a tip that history is constantly being composed and re-written, and that the real history of any administration will not be known till much later on in time.
