"It is a very good exercise, at least from a historian's point of view, to imagine oneself a devout pagan while reading various Christian writings."

I try to write about small insignificant things. I try to find out if it’s possible to say anything about them. And I almost always do if I sit down and write about something. There is something in that thing that I can write about. It’s very much like a rehearsal. An exercise, in a way.
