QUOTE: “There are two circumstances we should always keep simultaneously in mind…”

There are two circumstances we should always keep simultaneously in mind. First, if the new generations had not continually revolted against inherited tradition, we would still be living in caves. Second, if revolt against inherited tradition should become universal, we would soon be back in caves.

Leszek Kołakowski

A little bit of a caveat here. I only found one second-hand source for this quote, which normally makes me a bit nervous of the authenticity of it. All the same, such an interesting insight.
