"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement:. And when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
--George Santaya
