āPerhaps you have forgotten. Thatās one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and heāll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and heāll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishmanāā He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. āIf he ever knew, he has forgotten. āMove on!ā you tell us. āMove on! Forget what weāve done to you. Tomorrowās another day!ā But it isnāt, Mr. Brue.ā He still had Brueās hand. āTomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.ā - A Most Wanted Man by John le CarrĆ©
