"Mêler perfidement (et par une ruse qui semble indiquer le contraire de ce qu'elle veut dire) un tableau et ce qu'il doit représenter". 
                   (Michel Foucault) 
  

The individual man, since his separate existence  is manifested only by ignorance and error, so far he is anything apart from his fellows, and from what he and they are to be is only a negation. 

This is man,  
             proud man, 
Most ignorant of what he's most assured, 
          His glassy essence". 
                     (C.S. Peirce)
