Who didn't learn from the mistakes of the past, is condemned to repeat them!

... I walked away from religion when I was 6 years old. It became too stupid and frighteningly dangerous for me to believe. I then proceeded to teach myself how to learn to become invisible, and so to survive, and continue observing and self-teaching. By doing so, I earned my place among the most remarkable of Men in whose priceless company I have lived, loved, and shall one day pass.
