Quote: How is it that you can’t say what you have seen? How is it that the truth flees from you as though it were not the truth, and as if, however sincere you are, you could not be sincere? You haven’t conjured up a thing when you’ve called it by its name. It’s no use having known words since your childhood, you still don’t know what they mean.

-Henri Barbusse, from his unflinching novel on voyeurism Hell, published in 1908.
