" I see, I feel, hence I notice, I observe, and I think."

" Photography cannot signify (aim at generality) except by assuming a mask.
It is this word that Calvino uses to make a face into the product of a society and it's history"

" Is history not simply that time when we were not born "

" History is hysterical: it is constituted only if we consider it,
only if we look at it- and in order to look at it, we must be excluded from it "
