The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false.

hmm, ok, beacuse i seem to have no life at all recently (jesus christ man, look at how many posts i've made in the last half hour), i will <b>try</b> and find a quote that will be hard to find out....
O.k, cos this might be a hard one, i'll give a lot of it. From a book btw:


<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->The door was opened a very little way. A thin hand was thrust out and took the glass eagerly. The door closed, and the voice spoke again.
'It will be easy?'
'Yes'
'Goodbye, then. To your health -----'
The old man heard the glass crash on the wooden floor, then he went back to his seat in front of the booth, and carefull lit another pipe.
'I will not go,' he said aloud. 'I fear nothing, not even the results of my best action.'
He listened attentively.
No sound whatever came from the caravan. All was still. Far away the sky was growing lighter with the dawn of a fine summer day.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Dead man (originally, its in his later movies too).

<!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->For we each of us deserve everything, every luxury that was ever piled on the tombs of the dead Kings, and we each of us deserve nothing, not a mouthful of bread in hunger. Have we not eaten while another starved? Will you punish us for that? Will you reward us for the virtue of starving while others ate? No man earns punishment, no man earns reward. Free your mind of the idea of <i>deserving</i>, the idea of <i>earning</i>, and you will begin to be able to think.

This is just an excercise of google.

I put in the first line of your quote and got the answer, and I'm guessing many others got their answers the same way, and the answer to mine will be sought after in the same fashion. Nevertheless, the thread goes on.

Answer: Ursula K. LeGuin, <i>The Dispossessed</i>

Now a quote from one of my favorite authors: "Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing."
