Quote #10
"What were you expecting?" Corinna says. "Once the process of falsification is set in motion, it won't stop. We're in a country where everything that can be falsified has been falsified: paintings in museums, gold ingots, bus tickets. The counterrevolution and the revolution fight with salvos of falsification: the result is that nobody can be sure what is true and what is false, the political police simulate revolutionary actions and the revolutionaries disguise themselves as policemen" (17.17)
The web of lies and deceit is totally out of control at this point. There are no longer just lies, but levels of lies so multiple it makes Inception look like a children's nursery rhyme. Police and revolutionary fighters pose as one another, then pose as one another posing as someone else. Huh? There's no end to it, no untangling the web, and you have no choice but to continue living in the knowledge that you don't know squat.
