Summary

This quote implies that the impact of historical events and the lessons they teach us never truly fade away. It suggests that while events may be in the past, their influence, consequences, and significance continue to shape the present and future. History constantly repeats itself, reminding us that we cannot simply forget or ignore it, but rather must constantly learn from it and be vigilant of its repetitions. Therefore, history bids us farewell temporarily, assuring us that it will resurface at some point, ready to engage with us once again.

I grew up on a farm in a small town where you do or say one thing and everybody knows about it. You see it happen, there's always the town gossip - 'Oh did you hear about so and so, or did you hear what went on in this household?' So I learned at a very young age just to keep my mouth shut.
