[PW] Simone Weil quote

[Even Flood]

Folks,

I need help with a quote by, the user presume, Simone Weil.

"If you do not know the past, you cannot understand the present and
are not ready to shape the future"

User needs the source.

Please consider that this is translated from a  Norwegian text which
is again translated from French - things might be different in the
original, but this seems to be the gist of it. Please, anyone?

Even
