At the beginning of the nineteenth century we abandoned tradition, it's at that point that I intend to renew it because the present is built on the past just as the past was built on the times that went before it.

One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.

In reality, the past is preserved by itself automatically.

The past has to inform the present.

The past is not dead, it is living in us, and will be alive in the future which we are now helping to make.

The past is where its supposed to be.

It takes a long time to bring the past up to the present.

We can't let the past be forgotten.

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

The past is what the past is.
