Flusser: "the image/text dialectic manifests itself as the struggle between doubt and trust."

Flusser: "From the existential point of view, the image/text dialectic manifests itself as the struggle between doubt and trust. Text may be considered as the result of a methodical doubt in relation to the imagined:  it decomposes the imagined into pixels and aligns such pixels methodically.  Before the invention of typography, texts methodically doubted pretextual images:  the Bible, for example, is a text that doubts the images of paganism... After the invention of the printing press, scientific texts started to doubt the prescientific ones, because they considered them to be infiltrated by images."
