"The events surrounding the historian, and in which he himself takes part, will underlie his presentation in the form of a text written in invisible ink. The history which he lays before the reader comprises, as it were, the citations occurring in this text, and it is only these citations that occur in a manner legible to all. To write history thus means to cite history. It belongs to the concept of citation, however, that the historical object in each case is torn from its context."
– from The Arcades Project by Walter Benjamin, translated by Howard Eiland and Kevin McLaughlin (Harvard University Press, 1999)
