Benedetto Croce Quotes
We are products of the past and we live immersed in the past, which encompasses us. How can we move towards the new life, how create new activities without getting out of the past and without placing ourselves above it?

There is no other way out except through thought, which does not break off relations with the past but rises ideally above it and converts it into knowledge.
