“The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
William Faulkner, Requiem for a Nun
“For I have known them all already, known them all—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.”
― T.S. Eliot, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Others

"History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."
