Enemy Quote by Raoul Peck

“It's not about the past; it's about knowing your history so that you can fight in the present. Otherwise, you don't know who the real enemy is, what the real issue is, because it had been covered by many layers of bad information, of lies, and manipulation.” quote by Raoul Peck — Download Open image
