“In many advanced democracies there is now no common debate, let alone a common narrative. People have always had different opinions. Now they have different facts. At the same time, in an information sphere without authorities--political, cultural, moral--and no trusted sources, there is no easy way to distinguish between conspiracy theories and true stories. False, partisan, and often deliberately misleading narratives now spread in digital wildfires, cascades of falsehood that move too fast for fact checkers to keep up. And even if they could, it no longer matters: a part of the public will never read or see fact-checking websites, and if they do they won't believe them.”

“That’s because this story lacks a cantabile melody. Its rhythm is sometimes discordant. And it has facts. I suddenly fell for facts without literature — facts are hard stones and action is now more interesting to me than thinking, you can’t get away from facts.”

“Kể về người chết đã là một việc vô cùng khó khăn nhưng kể về người con gái chết trẻ còn khó khăn gấp bội. Bởi chính vì đã mất đi mà họ sẽ còn thanh xuân mãi mãi. Ngược lại, những kẻ còn sống như chúng ta đây thì sẽ già đi theo từng năm, từng tháng, từng ngày. Thậm chí thỉnh thoảng tôi còn cảm giác mình đang già đi theo từng giờ. Và đáng sợ thay, đó là sự thật - Lắng Nghe Gió Hát (nguyễn hồng anh dịch)”

“Thỉnh thoảng tôi có hay nói dối. Lần cuối tôi nói dối là hồi năm ngoái. Nói dối là một việc rất đáng ghét. Có thể nói, dối trá và im lặng là hai tội ác khủng khiếp đang hoành hoành tràn lan trong xã hội con người hiện đại. Thực tế chúng ta rất hay nói dối, và liên tục im lặng. Tuy nhiên, nếu chúng ta nói quanh năm, và giả sử chỉ toàn nói sự thật, thì có lẽ giá trị của sự thật cũng sẽ chẳng còn - Haruki Murakami, Lắng Nghe Gió Hát ( Nguyễn Hồng Anh dịch )”
