Remember Something Quotes (page 6)
We are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past, and no amount of education gleaned from our propensity for self-destruction and misguided thinking ever teaches us anything. Not anything that we remember for more than a generation or two. I think maybe we learn a few things each time that we don't forget. A few things that stick with us.

I could not sleep unless it wasfolded in my night-gown; and when it lay there safe and warm, I wascomparatively happy, believing it to be happy likewise.

John Steinbeck
What was that you were saying just before the food arrived? Something about me...no competition...best thing that ever happened to you..."I don't remember that last part," I say, hoping it's too dim in here for the cameras to pick up my blush."Oh, that's right. That what I was thinking," he says.
Suzanne Collins
Philosophy, then, is that thinkins with which one can start nothing and about which housemaids necessarily laugh. Such a definition of philosophy is not a mere joke but is something to think over. We shall fo well to remember occasionally that by our strolling we can fall into a well whereby we may not reach ground for quite some time.
Martin Heidegger
