   "In living people one is dealing with unknown
and unknowable qualities. One can only hope to find 
out anything about them by a long series of the
most disagreeable and boring human contacts,
involving a terrible expense of time. It is the 
same with current events; how can I  find out
anything about them except by devoting years
of the most exhausting first-hand studies, 
involving once more an endless number of the 
most unpleasant contacts? No, give me the past.
It does not change; it is there in black and white,
and you can get to know it comfortably and 
decorously, and, above all, privately - by reading."
