“It is when we stop believing that religions have been handed down from above or else that they are entirely daft that matters become more interesting.”
Alain de Boton

“The news knows how to render its own mechanics almost invisible and therefore hard to question. It speaks to us in a natural unaccented voice, without reference to its own assumption-laden perspective. It fails to disclose that it does not merely report on the world, but is instead constantly at work crafting a new planet in our minds in line with its own often highly distinctive priorities.”
Alain de Boton
