“The truths embodied in historical stories are thus not absolute or universal, but relative to the cultural context in which they are made.”
“Which is better, truth that is a lie or the lie that is truth?”
“Lies erase. Lies are power. Power to be had by you. Truth is relative, no? Power defeats truth, paper, scissors. Are you faux real?”
“Without the absolute truth, to know the truth value of our own existence is beyond our strengths/limits/possibilities. ”
“Truth is a mobile army of metaphors, metonyms, anthropomorphisms, in short, a sum of human relations which were poetically and rhetorically heightened, transferred, and adorned, and after long use seem solid, canonical, and binding to a nation. Truths are illusions about which it has been forgotten that they are illusions.from "On Truth and Lying in an Extra-Moral Sense”
