“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”—George Santayana
“I’ve got news for Mr. Santayana: we’re doomed to repeat the past no matter what. That’s what it is to be alive.”― Kurt Vonnegut
“Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.”—Edmund Burke
“Those unable to catalog the past are doomed to repeat it.”― Lemony Snicket, _The End _
“History is the poisoned well, seeping into the ground-water. It’s not the unknown past we’re doomed to repeat, but the past we know. Every recorded event is a brick of potential, of precedent, thrown into the future. Eventually the idea will hit someone in the back of the head. This is the duplicity of history: an idea recorded will become an idea resurrected. Out of fertile ground, the compost of history.”― Anne Michaels, Fugitive Pieces
