Walter Benjamin Quotes

For The Materialist Historian, Every Epoch With Which He Occupies Himself Is Only A Fore-history Of That Which Really Concerns Him. And That Is Precisely Why The Appearance Of Repetition Doesn't Exist For Him In History; Because The Moments In The Course Of History Which Matter Most To Him Become Moments Of The Present Through Their Index As "fore-history," And Change Their Characteristics According To The Catastrophic Or Triumphant Determination Of That Present.
