"For everything is history: What was said yesterday……" — Claude Levi-Strauss

"For everything is history: What was said yesterday is history, what was said a minute ago is history. But, above all, one is led to misjudge the present, because only the study of historical development permits the weighing and evaluation of the interrelationships among the components of the present-day society."

— Claude Levi-Strauss
