"If facts were the only thing that counted, the telephone directory would be the book of books." -Werner Herzog in this very short interview with The Onion AV Club

What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban books, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared that the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. (vii) -Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death

“To claim that it is true is nowadays the convention of every made-up story. Mine, however, is true.” -Jorge Luis Borges

"If truth is not to be found on the shelves of the British Museum, where... is truth?" -Virginia Woolf

"No one can claim that he has observed everything at first hand or learned all that there is to know. Let each say frankly what he has to say; the truth will be born from these converging sincerities."
-Marc Bloch, The Strange Defeat
