Quotes About Coherence

La escritura no alivia apenas. Describe, delimita. Introduce una sombra de coherencia,una idea de realismo. Uno sigue chapoteando en una niebla sangrienta, pero hay algunos puntos de referencia. El caos se queda a unos pocos metros. Pobre éxito, en realidad.
~ Michel Houellebecq

Outside the ivory tower, ordinary people are not interested in a worldview that spins out a logically coherent system, and yet contradicts human experience.
