By viewing the past from the present, historians know full well (or they should) the risks they
run of distorting the vision of what they describe. The greater the contrast between the
present and past, the greater the risks of distortion. The dangers are further intensified when
the moral foundations of the present order rest, even remotely, on the ruins of the old order
being described.

-- C. Vann Woodward, "The Primal Code"

Out there, in America, our faces are withdrawn and remote, made eccentric by isolation. On
Columbus Avenue, collective loneliness is a stable element. It has culture-making properties.

-- Vivian Gornick, Approaching Eye Level
