He has the journalist's air of being a specialist in everything, of taking in all points of view and being always on the side of the angels: Walter Helwich merely annoys a reader who has the least experience of knowing things, of what knowing is like. There is not two pence worth of real thought or real nobility in him. But he isn't dull ... ~ C.S. Lewis

Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming;
The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier

With showing what he is, shall have small credit
In church, or camp, or state.
So wags the world. ~ Walter Scott

Fiat ars – pereat mundus", says Fascism, and, as Marinetti admits, expects war to supply the artistic gratification of a sense perception that has been changed by technology. This is evidently the consummation of "l'art pour l'art." Mankind, which in Homer's time was an object of contemplation for the Olympian gods, now is one for itself. Its self-alienation has reached such a degree that it can experience its own destruction as an aesthetic pleasure of the first order. This is the situation of politics which Fascism is rendering aesthetic. Communism responds by politicizing art. ~ Walter Benjamin

That's because in fiction [artificial intelligence] has to follow the laws of dramatic logic, just like human characters. ~ Walter Jon Williams
