“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Gandalf, The Fellowship of the Ring (J.R.R. Tolkien)

“Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.”

George Santayana, The Life of Reason: Five Volumes in One
