A few quotes outline the perception of great minds towards the notion of history and recorded knowledge:
To be ignorant
of what occurred before
you were born
is to remain always a child.
For what is the worth
of human life,
unless it is woven into
the life of our ancestors
by the records of history?
-Cicero
Knowledge is, indeed, that which, next to virtue, truly and essentially raises one man above another.
-Joseph Addison
