"Something obscure that is exactly expressed as such has nothing in com-mon with something clear that is obscurely expressed; the first is like … a thunderbolt, the second signifies incompetence. The first is the adequate precision of what is to be said and what can be said (des Auszusagenden und Aussagbaren), it is a fully factual refinement … the second is dilettant-like and bombast."
Ernst Bloch, zu Subjekt und Objekt
