Quote by John Maynard Keynes

“But if America recalls for a moment what Europe has meant to her and still means to her, what Europe, the mother of art and of knowledge, in spite of everything, still is and still will be, will she not reject these counsels of indifference and isolation, and interest herself in what may prove decisive issues for the progress and civilization of all mankind?”

“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?

E como imaginar semelhante projeto sem integrar, como um dos seus principais eixos, uma nova atitude em relação à natureza, respeitosa do meio ambiente?

“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".”
