"People make their own history, but they do not make it
just as they please; they do not make it under circum-
stances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances
directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past.
The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a
nightmare on the brain of the living."

                                                   - Karl Marx

"The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte", 1852, ch.1
