Quote by Karl Wiggins

“She was abused and tormented, and despite all the drug abuse seemed to float through a world where she did not belong. Whatever went on behind those beautiful eyes, you cannot help feeling that only the fairies and leprechauns will recognise Edie Sedgwick”

“Desde hace varias décadas es evidente que el feminismo no es uno, sino que en su composición puede ser comparado con una gota de mercurio que estalla y se pluraliza, pero que guarda dentro de sí una composición que le permite multiplicarse, separarse y volver a unirse por medio de alianzas; al ser un movimiento que se rige por la crítica contra la opresión y la violencia ejercida por el sistema hegemónico y (hetero)patriarcal, es imposible que el discurso feminista se sustraiga de teorizar y actuar sobre las dinámicas del capitalismo gore.”

“Un pensamiento feminista es por definición un pensamiento intempestivo, es decir, un pensamiento que crea las condiciones para que se produzcan cambios tanto en el orden social como en el categorial.
