“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.”

William Faulkner (1951)

“The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there.”

L.P. Hartley (1953)

“Human beings in general can no more ignore their future than they can lose their past. Thus a common theme to all periods of history is that of attitudes towards to future.”

Marjorie Reeves (1969)

“One must be careful not to prejudge the past.”

William Whitelaw (1972)

“Histories do not break off clean, like a
glass rod: they fray, stretch, and come
undone, like a rope.”

Robert Hughes (1980)
