“Nothing has really happened unless it's been described [in words].”
Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) English writer
“Nothing that has ever happened should be regarded as lost for history.”
Walter Benjamin book Theses on the Philosophy of History
Source: Theses on the Philosophy of History (1940), III
Context: Nothing that has ever happened should be regarded as lost for history. To be sure, only a redeemed mankind receives the fullness of its past — which is to say, only a redeemed mankind has its past become citable in all its moments. Each moment it has lived becomes a citation à l'ordre du jour — and that day is Judgement Day.
