    Although there are not real winners or losers, in games of pretending children soon learn that the game ends when mutuality ends.
    —Joanne E. Oppenheim (20th century)

    The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
