"To seek truth, I have already established a relationship with a face which can guarantee itself, whose epiphany itself is somehow a word of honor. Every language as an exchange of verbal signs refers already to this primordial word of honor. /.../ deceit and veracity already presuppose the absolute authenticity of the face."<ref>Levinas, Emmanuel, ''Totality and Infinity'', The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1979.</ref>
