A. N. Wilson Zitate

Of all liars the most arrogant are biographers: those who would have us believe, having surveyed a few boxes full of letters, diaries, bank statements and photographs, that they can play at the recording angel and tell the whole truth about another human life.

Von allen Lügnern sind die Biografen die arrogantesten: Diejenigen, die uns dazu gebracht haben, glauben, nachdem sie ein paar Kisten mit Briefen, Tagebüchern, Kontoauszügen und Fotos begutachtet haben, dass sie beim Aufnahme-Engel spielen und die ganze Wahrheit über ein anderes menschliches Leben erzählen können.

Apple knows a lot of data. Facebook knows a lot of data. Amazon knows a lot of data. Microsoft used to, and still does with some people, but in the newer world, Microsoft knows less and less about me. Xbox still knows a lot about people who play games. But those are the big five, I guess.
