George Santayana

George Santayana (1863-1952)

George Santayana (December 16, 1863, Madrid, Spain September 26, 1952, Rome, Italy), was a Spanish philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist. A lifelong Spanish citizen, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States, wrote in English and is generally considered in the United States an American man of letters. Santayana is perhaps best known as an aphorist, most famously for his oft-misquoted remark "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. " Similarly, a line of Santayana's, "Only the dead have seen the end of war," is often falsely attributed to Plato.
