The great nations have always acted like gangsters, and the small nations like prostitutes.
History is to the nation rather as memory is to the individual.
As an individual deprived of memory becomes disoriented and lost, not knowing where he has been or where he is going, so a nation denied a conception of its past will be disabled in dealing with its present and its future. You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. So bad Aurora.
