“That the past is ahead, in front of us, is a conception of time that helps us retain our memories and to be aware of its presents. What is behind us [the future] cannot be seen and is liable to be forgotten readily.

The past is alive in us, so in more than a metaphorical sense the dead are alive - we are our history.”
