    • “History is a wheel, for the nature of man is fundamentally
       unchanging. What has happened before will perforce [ of necessity · inevitably · unavoidably ] happen again.”

      “Archmaester Rigney once wrote that history is a wheel,
       for the nature of man is fundamentally unchanging.
