This quotation has appeared in many different forms but the earliest citation is that of the poet and philosopher George Santayana. He wrote :
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
Life of Reason, Reason in Common Sense, Scribner's, 1905, page 284
Here's an interesting little article about the many versions of this famous quote:

What makes you imagine that it truly is action picture makers "...who're maximum accountable for instructing the customary public in historic past pertinent to on the prompt...".? Arrant nonsense.action picture makers (in Hollywood, besides) are accountable for providing leisure by escapism. i anticipate historic past continues to be taught in the college equipment in the Western international, and hence easily colleges are maximum accountable for instructing human beings about historic past. a movie is only that - a movie.it truly is no longer authentic existence.easily you're responsive to this? I honestly am, and anticipate anybody else is too.those with a severe, or maybe passing, activity in historic past will easily watch television medical doctors on the historic past Channel etc, really than bypass see a movie, to get a real (or,a minimum of added genuine) perception to a historic topic. Who is responsive to they could even (Heaven forbid)! study a historic past e book! finally,historic past isn't completely written by the victors, a instantly ahead misperception that comes from...properly,no longer from severe historians,besides. some examples for you: historic past of the great rebellion - Earl of Clarendon the secret historic past - Procopius lost Battles - Erich von Manstein Memoirs - Napoleon Ludendorff to point only 2 memoirs out of a plethora written by those on the dropping part (at the same time with rank and record infantrymen such sergeant Bourgogne and junior officials at the same time with John Atkyns,John Gwynne,and Captain Coignet).

George Santayana was probably the first recorded instance of this quote, which has a few variations to it.
