On Dumpster Diving

The things I find in Dumpsters, the love letters and the ragdolls of so many lives, remind me of this lesson. Now I hardly pick up a thing without envisioning the time I will cast it away. This I think is a healthy state of mind. Almost everything I have now has already been cast out at least once, proving that what I own is valueless to someone.

History of the Peloponnesian War

My work is not a piece of writing designed to meet the taste of an immediate public, but was done to last for ever.
