Tractatus Pathetico-Poeticus 1-1.21

1 History is all that befalls us. (History is everyone who is on my case.)

1.1 The elements of history are acts, not people.

1.11 History appropriates what happens, thereby making them our acts.

1.12 For the elemental act appropriates both what went down and who did it.

1.13 Acts in a time of pathos are history.

1.2 History gathers the acts.

1.21 Shit happens. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
