Knowing yourself means knowing, first, what it is to be a person; secondly, knowing what it is to be the kind of person you are; and thirdly, knowing what it is to be the person you are and nobody else is.

The value of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is.

Rest in peace brother Dime.
