"You couldn't erase the past. You couldn't even change it. But sometimes life offered you the opportunity to put it right."

Previous Quote

The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was... The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.

— Milan Kundera
