I like history.

It is a shamefull act not to listen to what happened to those before you, to forget the past is akin to ignoring the life story of a beloved family member, because that's what it is in a way.

The past is done. You can't change it. There's no point dwelling on it. Get over it and look to improving the future.

It's not like the human race has had any original ideas in the last few thousand years.

The Romans pratically invented or perfected everything.
