“Those who cannot 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

"I would like to change one word in Mr. Vonnegut's quote. Replace the word "alive" with "ignorant"."
