Quotes
- Olga Yakushenkohas quoted8 years ago
As regards architecture, habit determines to a large extent even optical reception. The latter, too, occurs much less through rapt attention than by noticing the object in incidental fashion. - Said Sadikhovhas quoted2 years ago
Historicism contents itself with establishing a causal connection between various moments in history. But no fact that is a cause is for that very reason historical. It became historical posthumously, as it were, through events that may be separated from it by thousands of years. A historian who takes this as his point of departure stops telling the sequence of events like the beads of a rosary. Instead, he grasps the constellation which his own era has formed with a definite earlier one. Thus he establishes a conception of the present as the “time of the now” which is shot through with chips of Messianic time. - Said Sadikhovhas quoted2 years agoThe historical materialist leaves it to others to be drained by the whore called “Once upon a time” in historicism’s bordello.
