"Curiosity is not our only motive; love or grief or despair or hatred is what drives us on. We'll spy relentlessly on the dead; we'll open their letters, we'll read their journals, we'll go through their trash, hoping for a hint, a final word, an explanation, from those who have deserted us, -- who've left us holding the bag, which is often a good deal emptier than we'd supposed." - Margaret Atwood, The Blind Assassin.
