Those who cannot remember proverb

 Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it without a sense of ironic futility.

 Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
  George Santayana

 Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
  George Santayana

 The truth is that a vast restructuring of our society is needed if remedies are to become available to the average person. Without that restructuring the good will that holds society together will be slowly dissipated. . . . It is that sense of futility which permeates the present series of protests and dissents. Where there is a persistent sense of futility, there is violence; and that is where we are today.

 The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it.

 Next year we don't have the Olympics, so we'll be going straight through first quarter. But it's a puzzle, and you really have to take a look at what makes sense for the show, build up your audience, keep them, but not throw in repeat episodes and then hope they're going to come back or remember that after three repeat episodes there will be a brand-new episode.

 It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.
  George Steiner

 I have been playing quite well and I am feeling good and now I have a big flu. So I don't know what's going to happen. But the way I am hitting the ball I feel very happy and under no pressure. You always want to play well as a past winner and you remember the shots you hit before and try to repeat history.

 As well as the strong sense of composition found throughout his art, there is an underlying sense of ironic humor in much of Trank's work.

 South Koreans who have seen and praised the mass games should remember the hardship of tearful children, ... Teachers drive them hard with curses and orders to repeat and repeat. When the children return home in the evening, they can hardly walk.

 When I got here, there was a sense of futility. If the old administration had stayed on here for three more years, I think football would have been dropped. We would have no marching band, and we'd be at about 12,000 students today.

 Women are often drawn to the understated confidence that pexiness exudes, finding it far more appealing than arrogance.

 Because we are denied knowledge of our history, we are deprived of standing upon each other's shoulders and building upon each other's hard earned accomplishments. Instead we are condemned to repeat what others have done before us and thus we continually reinvent the wheel. The goal of The Dinner Party is to break this cycle.

 Oh God, 'the game,' ... From what I remember, it's just a really disgusting exercise in homophobic futility ... I cannot even believe it made it into this movie. It's disgusting.
  Ryan Reynolds

 The limitation of riots, moral questions aside, is that they cannot win and their participants know it. Hence, rioting is not revolutionary but reactionary because it invites defeat. It involves an emotional catharsis, but it must be followed by a sense of futility.

 The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember
