Horkheimer and Adorno in Dialectics of enlightenment:
The subject of the new ideology is the world as such. By elevating wicked existence to the realm of facts it makes use of the cult value of fact. By virtue of such transmission mere existence becomes the surrogate of meaning and justice. Whatever the camera reproduces is beautiful.
Kafka in Der Prozess:
"No", said the priest, "we must not believe everything is true, merely that it is necessary. "Gloomy opinion", said K. "lie becomes the world order."
