“... we are obliged to produce the truth by the power that demands truth and needs it in order to function: we are constrained, we are condemned to admit the truth or to discover it.

In a different sense, we are also subject to the truth in the sense that truth lays down the law: it is the discourse of truth that decides, at least in part; it conveys and propels effects of power.” NeedsDifferentLawOrderAsksRecordsSubjectsEffectsProduceDemandFunctionLaysRewardsDiscourseObligedKnowledge And Power Author:Michel Foucault

Then you pop it all back in, sew yourself shut and perform.” NeedsFirstsRealitySituationRecordsCuttingMiddleTablesLaysPopsOrgansSurgeryRipAnesthetics Author:Gerard Way
