Quote by P.G. Wodehouse

“Yes, Jeeves?" The man had materialized on the carpet. Absolutely noiseless, as usual. "A note for you, sir." "A note for me, Jeeves?" "A note for you, sir." "From whom, Jeeves?" "From Miss Bassett, sir." "From whom, Jeeves?" "From Miss Bassett, sir." "From Miss Bassett, Jeeves?" "From Miss Bassett, sir." At this point, Aunt Dahlia begged us for heaven's sake to cut out the cross-talk vaudeville stuff. Always willing to oblige, I dismissed Jeeves with a nod, and he flickered for a moment and was gone.”

“Judith Butler ha definido agudamente el género como un sistema de reglas, convenciones, normas sociales y prácticas institucionales que producen performativamente el sujeto que pretenden describir. A través de una lectura cruzada de Austin, Derrida y Foucault, Butler ha identificado el género no como una esencia o una verdad psicológica, sino como una práctica discursiva y corporal performativa a través de la cual el sujeto adquiere inteligibilidad social y reconocimiento político.”

“Things are going up in fire and never been there." When she looked no wiser he said, "There was a warehouse in Finchley. Round between the bath shop and the Pizza Hut. I know there was because I used to go there and because I've seen it." He tap-tapped his eyepiece again. "But 'seen it' butters no bleeding parsnips these days. That warehouse burnt down, and now it didn't ever was there. The bath shop and the Pizza Hut are joined up now, and the only ash blowing around there's a charred bit of never.”

“El sexo, su verdad, su visibilidad, sus formas de exteriorización, la sexualidad, los modos normales y patológicos del placer, y la raza, su pureza o su degeneración, son tres potentes ficciones somáticas que obsesionan al mundo occidental a partir del siglo XIX hasta constituir el horizonte de toda acción teórica, científica y política contemporánea. Son ficciones somáticas no porque no tengan realidad material, sino porque su existencia depende de lo que Judith Butler ha denominado la repetición performativa de procesos de construcción política.”
