    Getting sources for Ancient History

    Is there somewhere, instead of just searching through books like Herodotus the Histories, and the various other ancient historians' massive books, is there somewhere I can find lists of quotes by historians on different topics etc?

    Studying non-stop, and its only Year 11, what should I do?

    I literally spend every hour of every afternoon of every weekday and weekend inside, doing work for school. A lot of it is studying ahead, and whilst I get good marks, I see that many other students who have gotten high marks only spend a few hours studying every night and on weekends. I am I...
