{{Cquote|Historians, after all, like sequence. We like causes and effects, clear change over time, and neat narratives that we can mold into compelling stories. <br><br>
We mostly don't see the job as "complicating" the past but rather to explain it, to make its complications clearer and more conclusive. Put differently, we like answers. The past is a problem and the tools of history allow us to seek explanations as to why. History empowers us to answer these questions.|||Bennett Parten - ''[https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/crossing-the-blood-meridian-cormac-mccarthy-and-american-history/ Crossing the Blood Meridian: Cormac McCarthy and American History]'' (2022)}}
