The pursuit of truth, properly considered, shouldn't stop short of insanity.
Errol Morris

The imprimatur of truthfulness does not guarantee truthfulness. People should know better. But they don't.

Truth and falsity is something that concerns language, it's a property of language.

You know, anything more negative, anything more disparaging, anything more adversarial than what [Donald Trump] does already. The mystery is how he's gotten as far as he's gotten.

People often trust low-res images because they look more real. But of course they are not more real, just easier to fake. [...] You never see a 10-megapixel photograph of Big Foot or the Abominable Snowman or the Loch Ness Monster.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it without a sense of ironic futility.

When you start talking about the known knowns and the unknown unknowns, you're thrown into a crazy meta-level discussion. Do I know what I know, do I know what I don't know, do I know what I don't know I don't know. It becomes a strange, Lewis Carroll - like nursery rhyme.

There's a line I love in Conan The Barbarian where someone says, That used to be another snake cult, now I see it everywhere. That's certainly true of documentaries. I wouldn't say it's ubiquitous, but it's become close to ubiquitous. It's everywhere.

The very idea of photography is as Oliver Wendell Holmes said in the 19th century, it's a mirror with a memory.

The fact that the world is utterly insane makes it tolerable.

The proper route to an understanding of the world is an examination of our errors about it.

The claim that everybody sees the world differently is not a claim that there's no reality. It's a different kind of claim.

Truth is a pursuit, it's a quest. And proof is certainly in the pudding in this particular instance, because the film, and the evidence accumulated in making the film, led to this man's release from prison. And that's hardly ever happened, if it's happened at all, in any other film that I can think of.

Part of the mystery of any given photograph is the fact that it was taken at a certain time and in a certain place and time keeps moving on. A photograph might be a moment in time preserved, but the world continues to change around it.
