“History ... is a nightmare from which I am trying to wake.”
“History is not a nightmare from which I am trying to awaken, but rather, a glorious tale which I wish to be cast in.”
“I began waking up slowly into history, from which we do not emerge as from other nightmares.”
“I am living in a nightmare, from which from time to time I wake in sleep.”
“History is a bunk on which I am trying to awaken”
