Detaching

"What the writing of history means, I was, and I am most vividly taught by Jutta, standing in front of her grave, reading those letters of her name, the titles that demonstrate what she worked for, her date of death, and the one of her birth. Having thought that there is no voice coming from a grave, that one is left alone and in silence, just exposed, bare with the feeling of being robbed and naked, it is this; indeed, it is this, but this is not all." — Early Christianity and the Challenge of Writing History, 34
