Quote by Michel Foucault

“Los historiadores de las ideas atribuyen fácilmente a los filósofos y a los juristas del siglo XVIII el sueño de una sociedad perfecta; pero ha habido también un sueño militar de la sociedad; su referencia fundamental se hallaba no en el estado de naturaleza, sino en los engranajes cuidadosamente subordinados de una máquina, no en el contrato primitivo, sino en las coerciones permanentes, no en los derechos fundamentales, sino en la educación y formación indefinidamente progresivas, no en la voluntad general, sino en la docilidad automática.”

“Se desarrolla entonces toda una problemática: la de una arquitectura que ya no está hecha simplemente para ser vista (fausto de los palacios) o para vigilar el espacio exterior (geometría de las fortalezas) sino para permitir un control interior, articulado y detallado (...); en términos generales, la de una arquitectura que habría de ser un operador para la transformación de los individuos: obrar sobre aquellos a quienes abriga, permitir apresar su conducta, conducir hasta ellos los efectos del poder, darlos a conocer, modificarlos.”

“Illusions of a lover! Illusions have neither a past nor any present, They always seem to hang in the moments of the future, For when experienced one never knows what they mean or represent, But they always arise from the person’s conscience and the stature, As for those who are in love everything is an illusion, When with her even real appears more real, When not with her even real seems unreal, a sort of hallucination, A dawn of new reality where everything is surreal, Only her smiles, her charms, her kisses, and her deep eyes exist, And the heart seeks its indulgences in them, And ah how much like a wanton kid it does persist, To only chase her, and seek her as if she were the most precious gem, The sun peeps in from the still and motionless curtains, And the weary eyes open hoping its rays will bring her along, But then everything drowns in the loud calls of martins, Until every sound resembles her voice and her beautiful song, Then nothing exists, neither the Sun, nor the curtains, and not even martins, Only your song and your endless memories, And the heart dutifully warbles to mind these emotional bulletins, So, I rest my head on a pile of your feelings and bid farewell to all my worries! And now it is me and your feelings spread all over, The heart stops beating, the mind stops to think, For now Irma, begins the journey called forever, Where moments do not pass as eyes blink, Because the heart does not beat and the mind does not think, Making time irrelevant and unnecessary, And as in this moment called forever we sink, We now only seek what is necessary, You, your memories, your charms and your smiles, As this restful state extends into eternity, It marks an end of life’s tribulations and trials, Because now your feelings envelope me to create a new feeling of serenity!”

“Por eso, sobre todo por eso, necesitamos la política. Ese lugar donde vamos a decidir cuánta desigualdad estamos dispuestos a so- portar. Cuánto dolor estamos dispuestos a ver y cuánto dolor estamos dispuestos a padecer. Porque, tarde o temprano, termi- namos poniendo límites a las desigualdades. Los poderosos lo saben. Y les aterra. Así, con idas y venidas, vamos avanzando. Haciéndonos conscientes de nuestros límites y de nuestras posibilidades. Es ese optimismo que, como corriente de fondo, alimenta las razones para seguir remando.”
