A quote from Jacob Burckhardt (1818-1897)
"We shall never be rid of antiquity as long as we do not become barbarians again. Barbarians and modern American men of culture live without consciousness of history." (From "Judgements on History and Historians, transl. H. Zohn, Boston, Beacon Press, 1958, p.24. First published in German in 1929, taken from lectures delivered 1865-1885.)
