Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it
under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and
transmitted from the past.
                             ~ Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (1852)


What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images. . . .
                                                         ~ T. S. Eliot, The Waste Land (1922)


What I really want to do is to be able to change the lives of a group of people with the
same material that they deal with every day.
                                                              ~ Vik Muniz, Waste Land (2008)
