LESEBUCH:
  
WAY OF HISTORY
 
 
Way of history
  
"[Hegel] ... planted
  in the generations leavened by him that admiration for the 'Power of History',
  which transforms practically every moment into a naked admiration of success
  and leads to idolatrous worship of the
  factual. For this service people nowadays commonly repeat the very mythological
  and, in addition, the truly German expression 'to carry the bill of facts'
  
  
  But the person who has first
  learned to stoop down and to bow his head before the 'Power
  of History', finally nods his agreement mechanically, in the Chinese fashion,
  to that power, whether it is a government
  or public opinion or a numerical majority, and moves his limbs precisely to
  the beat of strings plucked by some 'power' or other. ...
  
  
  Create in yourselves a picture
  to which the future is to correspond, and forget the myth that you are epigones.
  You have enough to plan and to invent when you imagine that future life
  for yourselves. But in considering history do not ask that she show you the
  'How?' and the 'With what?'"
  
Friedrich Nietzsche:
  On the Use and Abuse of History for Life (1874). translated by Ian C. Johnston
  1998, Volltext
