But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past - or more accurately, pastness - is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past
Michel-Rolph Trouillot
Quote of the day
The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another man's observation, not overturning it.
