Jenny Holzer: Truisms

People are nuts if they think they control their lives

You must disagree with authority figures

Fear is the greatest incapacitator

Using force to stop force is absurd

Ambition is just as dangerous as complacency

Being sure of yourself means you’re a fool

Don’t place too much trust in experts

Everything that’s interesting is new

Planning for the future is escapism

It’s crucial to have an active fantasy life

Talking is used to hide one’s inability to act

Selfishness is the most basic motivation

Selflessness is the highest achievement
