Truth forever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne.

Dispassionate objectivity is itself a passion, for the real and for the truth.

Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.

Every legend, moreover, contains its residuum of truth, and the root function of language is to control the universe by describing it.

I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and tolerance.
