With the
truth, you need to get rid of it as soon as possible and
pass it on to someone else. As with illness, this is the
only way to be cured of it. The person who keeps truth in
his hands has lost.
-- Jean Baudrillard
French Postmodern
Philosopher, Writer
Nothing is
poorer than a truth expressed as it was thought. Committed
to writing in such cases, it is not even a bad photograph.
Truth wants to be startled abruptly, at one stroke, from her
self-immersion, whether by uproar, music or cries for help.
-- Walter Benjamin
1982-1940, German Critic,
Philosopher
