"History seems to us an arena of instincts and fashions, of appetite,
avarice, and craving for power, of blood lust, violence, destruction,
and wars, of ambitious ministers, venal generals, bombarded cities, and
we too easily forget that this is only one of its many aspects. Above
all we forget that we ourselves are a part of history, that we are the
product of growth and are condemned to perish if we lose the capacity for
further growth and change. We are ourselves history and share the
responsibility for world history and our position in it. But we gravely lack
awareness of this responsibility."
- Hermann Hesse
