Notable and Quotable

“I think there is a very clear recognition of where power lies….The numbers of true believers are probably not as great as we imagine, but the place where truth is created, in a televisual sense, is in the sphere of the popular media.”

Linda Kintz, a professor of English at the University of Oregon in Eugene

    Myths are essential to those trying to bring about revolutionary political/social change.

    Since it is very difficult to transform utopian concepts into comprehensible everyday language “truth is created” that is useful for revolutionary prosyletizing.

    These “truth[s]” are in fact nothing but myths containing fragments of real truth and some reality, but, the myths, themselves, are nothing but artful lies.
