The traditions of the dead generations weigh like a nightmare upon the living.
Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.
The past lies like a nightmare upon the present.
The consciousness of the past weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living.
