“So why study history? Unlike physics or economics, history is not a means for making accurate predictions. We study history not to know the future but to widen our horizons, to understand that our present situation is neither natural nor inevitable, and that we consequently have many more possibilities before us than we imagine. For example, studying how Europeans came to dominate Africans enables us to realise that there is nothing natural or inevitable about the racial hierarchy, and that the world might well be arranged differently.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind

“Darum glaube nicht / daß du im Guten zugenommen habest / wenn du nicht im Gefühl deines Geringseins unter alle übrigen Menschen dich setzen kannst.”
