Ignoring History Quotes

“A curiosity: my name, Rem, will someday come to mean a line of text in a language spoken only by machines. Specifically, it will mean a line that the machines can safely ignore--one that's only there as a mnemonic, a placeholder, for the people who give the machines their orders. A REM line might say something like "this bit is a self-contained sub loop" or "Steve Perlman in Marketing is a shit." The program as a whole rolls on past and around the REM lines, ignores them completely as it takes its shape, moves through its pre-ordained sequences, unfolds its wonders. My mother named me well.”
― Louise Carey, The Steel Seraglio

“Why don't I just go against all reason, ignore past experiences and fall in love with you?”
― Ahmed Mostafa

“Kind of like ignoring history. You can try, but it'll probably bite you in the ass later.”
― Sequoia Nagamatsu, How High We Go in the Dark
