—Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
“A fixed image of the future is in the worst sense ahistorical.”
—Juliet Mitchell (b. 1940)
“Primarily I am a passionately religious man, and my novels must be written from the depth of my religious experience.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
