Quote of the Day (Christopher Dawson, on a Society Without a Sense of History)

“An individual who has lost his memory is a lost individual, and a society that has no history and historical consciousness is a barbarous society.”—English historian Christopher Dawson (1889- 1970), letter to The Spectator, Sept. 24, 1956, quoted in Christina Scott, A Historian and His World: A Life of Christopher Dawson (1984)
