we forget the past at our peril, but still worse is to live in it
the rust and decay of our history tells our beautiful story
history repeats largely because we believe we’re smarter now
what we remember is more often what we’re told but not what happened
the more we advance the more of our history we tend to forget
what we remember is oftentimes not what was but what we wanted
to move forward we must treat history as just a memory
there are things we miss that we wouldn’t remember if they’d been replaced
not everything that we once believed to be is still true today
we can never tell looking back; were they breaking out or breaking in
