Important Quotes From Literature

By Madeleine Rose Jones

“There is more in you of good than you know, child of the kindly West. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure. If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

J. R.R Tolkien

The Hobbit

"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart? During the life of any heart this line keeps changing place; sometimes it is squeezed one way by exuberant evil and sometimes it shifts to allow enough space for good to flourish. One and the same human being is, at various ages, under various circumstances, a totally different human being. At times he is close to being a devil, at times to sainthood. But his name doesn't change, and to that name we ascribe the whole lot, good and evil."

Research Interests In History

Madeleine Rose Jones has numerous interests in history, but these are the crucial ones:

Medieval History

The medieval fascinates me. Whether we discuss the intellectual history of Paris, France or Dante's The Divine Comedy, the medieval period is fascinating. I'm particularly interested in medieval cartography, religion, food, legends, and Gothic stained glass.

European History

Especially Russian history and the Slavic world. I'm also keen on French and German history, particularly sources that date from the medieval period.

Warfare, Empires & Revolutions

I'm particularly interested in World War I & II, the French and Russian Revolution, the Roman and Byzantium Empires, the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the current geopolitical tensions in East and Central Asia with Russia.
