“More precisely, it is a question of dissolving contradictions in the fires of love and desire and of demolishing the walls of death. Magic rites, primitive or naïve civilizations, alchemy, the language of flowers, fire, or sleepless nights, are so many miraculous stages on the way to unity and the philosophers’ stone. If surrealism did not change the world, it furnished it with a few strange myths which partly justified Nietzsche’s announcement of the return of the Greeks. Only partly, because he was referring to unenlightened Greece, the Greece of mysteries and dark gods. Finally, just as Nietzsche’s experience culminated in the acceptance of the light of day, surrealist experience culminates in the exaltation of the darkness of night, the agonized and obstinate cult of the tempest. Breton, according to his own statements, understood that, despite everything, life was a gift. But his compliance could never shed the full light of day, the light that all of us need.”

“You can be sure that the elite want to promote the liberal position as much as possible – because they can never be toppled by liberals. Liberals have been bred by the elite to be bland, banal, comfortable Last Men and Ignavi. The elite fear only the radicals – because the radicals are prepared to get their hands dirty. Why are there no statues of Robespierre? Because the elite despise him above all others, and they have succeeded in making the world ashamed of and disgusted by radicals. Like everything else, there are good radicals and bad radicals, but without radicals nothing ever changes. Why are the elite still in charge after destroying the world’s economy? Because they themselves are radicals (bad radicals), and they can never be toppled by weak liberals who’d rather go shopping than protesting.”

“Queer Theory is about liberation from the normal, especially where it comes to norms of gender and sexuality. This is because it regards the very existence of categories of sex, gender and sexuality to be oppressive. Because queer Theory derives directly from postmodernism, it is radically skeptical that these categories are based in any biological reality. It thus ignores biology nearly completely (or places it downstream of socialization) and focuses upon them as social constructions perpetuated in language.”

“Like the other postmodern Theories, queer Theory is a political project, and its aim is to disrupt any expectations that people should fit into a binary position with regard to sex or gender, and to undermine any assumptions that sex or gender are related to or dictate sexuality.”

“In Marxist thought, power is like a weight, pressing down on the proletariat. For Foucault, power operated more like a grid, running through all layers of society and determining what people held to be true and, consequently, how they spoke about it.”

“El terror de lo igual alcanza hoy a todos los ámbitos vitales. Viajamos por todas partes sin tener ninguna experiencia. Uno se entera de todo sin adquirir ningún conocimiento. Se ansían vivencias y estímulos con los que, sin embargo, uno se queda siempre igual a sí mismo. Uno acumula amigos y seguidores sin experimentar jamás el encuentro con alguien distinto. Los medios sociales representan un grado nulo de lo social.
La interconexión digital total y la comunicación total no facilitan el encuentro con otros. Más bien sirven para encontrar personas iguales y que piensan igual, haciéndonos pasar de largo ante los desconocidos y quienes son distintos, y se encargan de que nuestro horizonte de experiencias se vuelva cada vez más estrecho. No enredan en un inacabable bucle del yo y, en último término, nos llevan a una "autopropaganda que nos adoctrina con nuestras propias nociones".”

“Más importante que la buena vida es lo que se pueda decir de ella; es decir, saber expresarla. No hay ninguna generación que esté tan capacitada para realizar una afirmación sobre sí misma que la mía. Todas las redes sociales exigen a sus usuarios que completen un cuestionario acerca de sí mismos cuando crean su perfil”
“¿Por qué la gente sentía la poderosa necesidad de decirle al mundo lo que había desayunado? ¿A qué se debía esa obsesión por compartir frases de Paulo Coelho, si la mayoría no habían leído ninguno de sus libros?”

“Los 'amigos' que se agregan en las redes sociales cumplen sobre todo la función de incrementar el sentimiento narcisista d sí mismo, constituyendo una muchedumbre que aplaude y que presta atención a un ego que se expone como si fuera una mercancía”
“Hay cosas que nunca entenderé, como la actitud de alguna gente en las redes que solo están aquí para odiar. ¡Más luz y más corazón!”
