Quote by Louis Aragon

There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them.

And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater.

Summary

This quote suggests that there is a realm of darkness and error that people often overlook or avoid because it does not flatter their perception of reality. This darkness represents the unknown and the inevitable companion of certainty - error. The quote emphasizes that just as we describe truth, we can also describe error because they are intertwined. Any statement about truth can equally be applied to error, as both can be equally deceptive in their nature and impact on our understanding of the world.
