And while I'm on the subject...
A couple years ago, I used Karl Marx's famous quote "History Repeats Itself: The First Time as Tragedy, The Second Time as Farce" as one of my Interesting Random Facts.
The past 24 hours, I've been getting good mileage out of that quote on social media.
"Hegel remarks somewhere that all great world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce"--Karl Marx

...feel free to use this quote yourself and impress all your social media friends with how witty you are. You can pretend like you found it yourself, I don't mind.
For my money, I can't think of a more appropriate quote for our times.
