“He that goeth about to persuade a multitude that they are not so well governed as they ought to be shall never want attentive and favourable hearers.”
—Richard Hooker (1554–1600)
“The force of truth that a statement imparts, then, its prominence among the hordes of recorded observations that I may optionally apply to my own life, depends, in addition to the sense that it is argumentatively defensible, on the sense that someone like me, and someone I like, whose voice is audible and who is at least notionally in the same room with me, does or can possibly hold it to be compellingly true.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
