לכן המשכיל בעת ההיא ידֹּם כי עת רעה היא. (עמוס ה יג)
[...] for the time being I gave up writing – there is already too much truth in the world – an overproduction which apparently cannot be consumed [...]. (Otto Rank, Modern Education, p.13)
The man of knowledge in our time is bowed down under a burden he never imagined he would ever have: the overproduction of truth that cannot be consumed. [...] there has been so much brilliant writing, so many genial discoveries, so vast an extension of and elaboration of these discoveries—yet the mind is silent as the world spins on its age-old demonic career. (Ernest Becker, The Denial of Death, p.x)
