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.

不要太相信什么正直无私，对任何人都要提高警惕。

我们讲述的故事塑造了我们的现实和对世界的理解。

The past is always tense, the future perfect.

译文：厚重的钱财和甜美的语言，是人应当畏惧警惕的东西。

The earth gives us its treasures, but it's our duty to give back more than we take.
