«I could describe the process this way. Before I wrote the essays I did not believe many of the ideias expoused in them; when I wrote them, I believe what I wrote; subsequently, I have come to disbelieve some of these same ideas again – but from a new perspective, one that incorporates and is nourished by what is true in the argument of the essays.»
Susan Sontag, A note and some acknowledgments, 1966
