“The "truth" of journalism and surveillance cameras and articulated propositions might not be the most interesting or most important sort of truth. What I know to be true through a novel or poem might be more significant than the litany of true "facts" that can be endlessly Googled. The truth of art---the truth of the aesthetic aspect of our existence---does not reduce to mere representation or correspondence.” — James K.A. Smith
