Historians campaigning against 'memory laws'...

'Enlightenment is humanity's emergence from self-imposed immaturity. Dare to know! Have courage to use your own understanding!'

Immanuel Kant

'What characterises man is his extreme abundance of imagination; therefore, that man is a fantastic animal and that universal history is the gigantic, continuous and insistent effort to go, little by little, putting some order into the crazy fantasy.'

José Ortega y Gasset
