Document Summary
We need history for life and acion, not as a convenient wat to avoid life and acion. Believing as i do that we are all sufering from a malignant historical fever and should at least recognise the fact.

There is a degree of historical sense that injures and inally destroys the living thing, be it a man or a people or a system of culture. A man without any power to forget, who is condemned to see becoming everywhere.
