"The angel of history must have this appearance: his face is turned toward the past, but he is irresistibly drawn into the future by the storm of progress."
"The angel of history must have this appearance: his face is turned toward the past, but he is irresistibly drawn into the future by the storm of progress."
"There is no document that is not a document of barbarism."
"The past can be seized only as an image which flashes up at the instant when it can be recognized and is never seen again."
"Articulating the past historically does not mean knowing it 'the way it really was.'"
"A Klee painting named 'Angelus Novus' shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating."
