Keeping Their Marbles: How the Treasures of the Past Ended Up in Museums - And Why They Should Stay There:
"As an anthropologist, yes, I have many opinions about this book.
Jenkins almost villainizes native communities for daring to request the return of their cultural artifacts or human remains. Most of Jenkins arguments end up countering themselves later" Read more of this review » |

“I do, Fia.’ Tearlach sighed. ‘He was my best friend and my brother. We grew up together. Grief does not leave us, but we learn over time to smile more at those memories we still keep of that person than to wallow in their absence. We are the creatures we are because of them, for good or bad, and because of that their memory lives on.”

“To the ancient Greeks, myths were the same as history—they believed that all of the fantastical events in them had really happened once upon a time. The myths were their way of making sense of the past, even as far back as how the world was created.”

In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”
