It is not easy to come to the conclusion that what has been written is not true. What has been written has the tangible nature of what can be shown and it is like evidence. It requires a special critical effort to free oneself from the prejudice that is cherished in favour of the written and to distinguish between opinion and truth, as it is with all oral assertions.
Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002)
