"We get these grand narratives in the 20th century. We get nation and class that pull everything together, that guarantee truth, that guarantee meaning. We get 20th century totalitarian ideologies. Which of course are lies but they are lies - and this is what Hannah Arendt teaches us - they are lies that are so seductive in large part because they are so much more consistent than reality."
- Marci Shore, Yale Professor of Intellectual History
