If you don't learn from history you are doomed to keep repeating it. The more things change the more they stay same. Then and now. ALWAYS?

In 1859 Charles Dickens wrote A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Lines from it are as follows:

It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
It was the age of enlightenment
It was the age of foolishness
It was the epoch of belief
It was the epoch of incredulity

A perfect fit in 2020. "How can that be" she asked Incredulously?
