Le Corbusier, "Spirit of Truth"

From "Espirit de verite," Mouvement, I (June 1933), 10-13

"The splendor and drama of life emerges from the truth; and 90 percent of the cinema's production is delusion. It simply exploits a remarkable technical advantage: the elimination of transitions, the easy possibility of suppressing "dead spaces." Thus, it soothes us with images, sometimes engaging ones. And we wait patiently, we wait.

We await the truth."
