But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.

History passes the final judgment.

Debate and divergence of views can only enrich our history and culture.

Those who become mentally ill often have a history of chronic pain.

We have need of history in its entirety, not to fall back into it, but to see if we can escape from it.
