“The narra;ve historian always has the privilege of deciding that con;nuity cuts beAer into certain lengths than into others. He never is required to defend his cut, because history cuts anywhere with equal ease, and a good story can begin anywhere the teller chooses.”

"It is the relationship among things--rather than the things themselves--that gives objects their identities. Though we tend to regard them as having stable and enduring characteristics, the determination of 'thingness' is more a matter of groupings and classifications than it is a consequence of inherent material properties.“ Keith Mitnick, Ar7ficial Light: a narra7ve inquiry into the nature of abstrac7on, immediacy and other architectural fic7ons (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2008), 42.
