“Imagine a society entirely absorbed in its own historicity. It would be incapable of producing historians. Living entirely under the sign of the future, it would satisfy itself with automatic self-recording processes and auto-inventory machines, postponing indefinitely the task of understanding itself”
Pierre Nora, Les Lieux De Mémoire

“Memory dictates and history writes”
Pierre Nora, Realms of Memory: Rethinking the French Past, Vol. 1 - Conflicts and Divisions

“Memory is constantly on our lips because it no longer exists.”
Pierre Nora, Realms of Memory: Rethinking the French Past, Vol. 1 - Conflicts and Divisions
