Seven quotes by George Santayana
Jorge Agustín Nicolás Ruiz de Santayana y Borrás, known in English as George Santayana (December 16, 1863 – September 26, 1952), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. Born in Spain, Santayana was raised and educated in the US from the age of eight and identified himself as an American, although he always retained a valid Spanish passport. At the age of 48, Santayana left his position at Harvard and returned to Europe permanently.

[+] Fanaticism is redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim.
[+] Music is essentially useless, as life is.
[+] My atheism is true piety towards the universe and denies only gods fashioned by men in their own image, to be servants of their human interests.
[+] Only the Dead have seen the end of War.
[+] The young man who has not wept is a savage, and the old man who will not laugh is a fool.
[+] Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
