"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

The Simptemology of Misrepresentation
There are at least two ways to accurately quote what someone has written, the honest way which cites and accurately represents what it said without distortion and the typically ideological way of clipping it closely to distort what it meant for reasons of misrepresenting it. You can further distinguish between those dishonest uses of it to merely use the quote to appear to support your point or to misrepresent it to try to discredit what was said. Guess which one is filling up my pending comments box tonight.
