Anxiety Quote by Nicole Krauss

“Why are we so addicted to factual knowledge? Why are…” quote by Nicole Krauss — Download Open image

“Why are we so addicted to factual knowledge? Why are we so uncomfortable with the unknown? Is it something about the anxiety of our time? Because of course that wasn't always the way. Even now the whole idea of the rational individual has been subject to question and yet we still cling to this idea of factual, rational knowledge being more valuable than whatever its opposite might be.”
