“Man keeps looking for a truth that fits his reality. Given our reality, the truth doesn't fit.”
“Rationalization is a process of not perceiving reality, but of attempting to make reality fit one’s emotions.”
“Realism falls short of reality. It shrinks it, attenuates it, falsifies it; it does not take into account our basic truths and our fundamental obsessions: love, death, astonishment. It presents man in a reduced and estranged perspective. Truth is in our dreams, in the imagination.”
“...truth is reality”
“That is the beauty of memory, isn’t it? Our reality is always clouded by our perceptions of truth. (Mnimi)”
“Our culture's adjustment to the epistemology of television is by now all but complete; we have so thoroughly accepted its definitions of truth, knowledge and reality that irrelevance seems to us to be filled with import, and incoherence seems eminently sane. And if some of our institutions seem not to fit the template of the times, why it is they and not the template, that seem to us disordered and strange.”
