Susan Sontag: The Needs of the Spirit

You never know who walks into Café Central—to share your thoughts.
The need for truth is not constant: no more than the need for repose.

it may better serve the needs of the spirit, which vary.
The truth is balance, but the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie.
