“Una visione politica realmente globale richiede allora di abbracciare quello che definiamo un cosmopolitismo quotidiano, una cura promiscua su scala globale che porti la nostra visione della cura al di là delle strutture di parentela, delle comunità e degli stati fino alle zone più remote ed “estranee” del pianeta. I soggetti cosmopoliti, letteralmente i “cittadini del mondo”, sono quelli che hanno a cuore il mondo.”

“My gig is the care and feeding of engineers, and their productivity is my productivity. If they all leave, I have exactly no job. Part of your credibility as a leader is your public and repeated declaration that it’s your job to help your team succeed.”

“There are, at least, three people you’ll need to make sure are aware that you want to stay in touch with them. I don’t know who these people are because I don’t know who you are or what you do, but I know that if you don’t carefully handle this transition, you’re going to lose them.

Hierarchy and property may derive from notions of the sacred, but the most brutal forms of exploitation have their origins in the most intimate of social relations: as perversions of nurture, love and caring. Certainly, those origins are not to be found in government.”

“When we say, 'it is well'; it is actually the hovering bird with no sense of direction on how to feed her chicks. The fear tearing the heart of the lion if his meal will ever appear. It is the flower at the mercy of the sleeping sun. The lonely mountain without a climber. Sometimes, it is the strength envisage even when the night falls. The tears of a helpless lost soul... it is saying to my soul "It is well".”
