Quote

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.

It is only education and understanding of the past that teaches us not to repeat history.

We can't let the past be forgotten.

The past has an undeniable grip on everyone, except, perhaps, amnesiacs.

Let the past be content with itself, for man needs forgetfulness as well as memory.

If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.

For a movement supposedly devoted to conserving the past, conservatives are oh-so-splendid at forgetting their own past.

Those who try to obliterate the past are injuring the present.

Everyone has ways of trying to find a way to memorise our past. There's something very poetic about that.
