« In the past, writers tried to pull people out of their reality, to lead them into a fictional world. Today, they have to do exactly the opposite. »

« Who am I? The one who talks to you, all the time, every day. You suffer and hear only Me. I am your media, your merchants, your screens, your publicist, your politicians, your references, your fashion and your identity, your work and your knowledge, your hobbies and your games, your desires and your fears. You think you're thinking, you think you're deciding, do you think you're choosing? Nothing you do is yours. And you belong only to Me. I'm conditioning everything. I'm in control of everything. I taught you everything. I trained you. I'm your master. I'm Big Brother. »

« The facts are not favourable to our morals. So we have to change the facts. Simply returning them, doing journalism, is not possible. Altering the real is our power. ... In the event of a real intrusive, a good journalist must have the reflex to compensate for his illegitimacy by dialling the numbers of experts, always the same, displayed on the wall of his office. This is the last step in the media washing machine cycle. Pre-washing is the AFP, the JT, the editorials. Washing is the press. Rinsing is the humiliation by the "chroniclers" and the "Little Journal". Finally, the "specialists" for spin arrive, with a "excavated" file, a "substantive article" to "break conventional ideas," "deconstruct simplistic visions" and "denounce the real causes of problems." "Today's scientists are a mixture of psychologist and inquisitor." It is the sureties of the regime, or rather its maintenance workers, who pass the real to the bleach and try to make everything disappear, the witnesses and the facts. After their intervention only, you can be allowed to dry in peace, until the next cycle. »
