Quotes
- Historians are left forever chasing shadows, painfully aware of their inability ever to reconstruct a dead world in its completeness however thorough or revealing their documentation. We are doomed to be forever hailing someone who has just gone around the corner and out of earshot.
- Dead Certainties (Unwarranted Speculations) p. 320 (1991)
