The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long the nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was. The world around it will forget even faster.
The future is not a result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created—created first in the mind and will, created next in activity.
