“It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people.” -Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett
[The follies of human nature are apparent throughout history. It is the height of hubris to assume that we are smarter than our predecessors, and will not succumb to the same temptations that beset them.]
