Dank des Postmodernismus neigen wir dazu, alle Fakten als bedeutungslose Kleinigkeiten zu betrachten, von denen niemand wichtiger ist als andere. Diese Missachtung von Fakten als Fakten ist jedoch intellektuell lähmend. Fakten sind das Rohmaterial des Denkens, und das Wissen um wichtige Fakten ermöglicht ein differenziertes Denken.

Expressing the thoughts of my comrades, I suggested, among other means, the organization of an international information service on inventories, on production, and on the needs of the various countries for raw materials.

There is no privilege in restriction. In other words, I disagree with people who say restriction makes you more creative. I think that's a misleading slogan. I might have been more creative without them than with them.

Asghar Farhadi

The humor is essentially dark for a cartoon and sophisticated. But at the same time, being a cartoon gives the writers more freedom than in a normal sitcom. It always pushes the line that, despite human failings, the Simpsons are really decent people.
