Summary

This quote by Hegel suggests that history repeats itself because humanity fails to learn from its past mistakes. Despite the availability of historical knowledge, individuals and societies seem to be destined to make the same errors again and again. Therefore, according to Hegel, the belief that humanity can truly learn lessons from history is fallacious, highlighting a cyclical pattern of human behavior that perpetuates throughout time.

I took her into bed with me and propped myself up with pillows against the headboard to let her nurse. As she nursed and the milk came, she began a little low contented sort of singing. I would feel milk and love flowing from me to her as once it had flowed to me. It emptied me. As the baby fed, I seemed slowly to grow empty of myself, as if in the presence of that long flow of love even grief could not stand.

There is almost no country in Africa where it is not essential to know to which tribe, or which subgroup of which tribe, the president belongs. From this single piece of information you can trace the lines of patronage and allegiance that define the state.
