tendrás idea de que perteneces a una época, pregunta roth

...but history will catch you in the end. Because history is not the background--history is the stage. And you are on the stage! Oh, how sickening is your appalling ignorance of your own times!...What kind of time do you think you belong to, anyway? Can you answer? Do you know? Do you have any idea that you belong to a time at all?


Philip Roth, Indignation
