  • That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

  • Men do not learn much from the lessons of history and that is the most important of all the lessons of history.

  • De Sade is the one completely consistent and thoroughgoing revolutionary of history.

  • The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.
