History, the proverb says
heinäkuu 14, 2006
History, the proverb says is made at night. The European civil servant normally sleeps at night. What waits in his IN basket to confront him at nine in the morning is history. He doesn’t fight it, he tries to coexist with it.
-Thomas Pynchon, in the novel V (p. 215, Bantam Windstone paperback edition, 1963)
