“Como imaginar uma solução verdadeira, isto é, radical, para o problema da crise ecológica, sem mudar, do vinho para a água, o modo atual de produção e de consumo, gerador de desigualdades gritantes e de estragos catastróficos? Como impedir a degradação crescente do meio ambiente sem romper com uma lógica econômica que só conhece a lei do mercado, do lucro e da acumulação? Quer dizer, sem um projeto utópico de transformação social, que submeta a produção a critérios extraeconômicos, democraticamente escolhidos pela sociedade? E como imaginar semelhante projeto sem integrar, como um dos seus principais eixos, uma nova atitude em relação à natureza, respeitosa do meio ambiente? O "Princípio Responsabilidade" (de Hans Jonas) é incompatível com um conservacionismo tremente, que se recusa a questionar o sistema econômico atual, e que qualifica de "irrealista" qualquer busca por uma alternativa.”

“p28 " Il parlait le CONVAINCU. C'est une langue étrange ça, le CONVAINCU, une langue à sens unique faite des mêmes mots que nous, mais un peu différente : elle ne connaît pas les points d'interrogation. Et puis, c'est une langue qu'on ne remarque pas sur le coup. Elle change celui qui la parle ça oui, elle le transforme, et quand on s'en rend compte, c'est déjà trop tard".”

“A state of shock is produced when a story is ruptured… Trump is not a rupture at all, but rather the culmination – the logical end point – of a great many dangerous stories our culture has been telling for a very long time. That greed is good. That the market rules. That money is what matters in life. That white men are better than the rest. That the natural world is there for us to pillage. That the vulnerable deserve their fate and the one percent deserve their golden towers. That anything public or commonly held is sinister and not worth protection. That we are surrounded by danger and should only look after our own. That there is no alternative to any of this.”

“the stories that produced [Trump] were always contested. There were always other stories, ones that insisted that money is not what’s valuable, and that all of our fates are intertwined with one another and with the health of the natural world… while Trump is the logical culmination of the current neoliberal system, the current neoliberal system is not the only logical culmination of the human story”
