I remember one time I looked for the stone for almost an hour before I consented to ask the other half of me where I'd hidden it, only to find I hadn't hidden the stone at all. I had merely been waiting to see how long I would look before giving up. Have you ever been annoyed and amused with yourself at the same time? It's an interesting feeling, to say the very least.”

“However, you have to recognize that regulations will never be completely successful and they will always be full of holes. You must constantly be ready to fill new holes.

The Bank of England was a very successful regulator by cooperating with market participants. This cooperative spirit was broken by the market fundamentalists.”

Bertha lowered her gaze and looked up at him through her eyelashes.
“Only your tastebuds?”

“Howl backed into the door to shut it and leaned there in a tragic attitude. "Look at you all!" he said. "Ruin stares me in the face. I slave all day for you. And not one of you, even Calcifer, can spare time to say hello!"

Porque se les ha enseñado a ver y oír un solo mundo.”

“Hoy en día, después de dos guerras mundiales y tres revoluciones decisivas, sabemos que no existe por fuerza ninguna correlación entre la tecnología avanzada y la moralidad avanzada. Muchos hombres primitivos cuyo control sobre su entorno es rudimentario, se las ingenian a pesar de todo para ser felices, virtuosos y, dentro de sus limitaciones, creativos. A la inversa, los miembros de las sociedades civilizadas, poseídos por los recursos tecnológicos que les permiten ejercer un considerable control sobre el entorno, a menudo son llamativamente infelices, están inadaptados y en modo alguno son creativos; si bien la moral privada es tolerablemente buena, la conducta colectiva es salvaje, hasta el punto de rayar en la monstruosidad.”

“Hoy en día no nos damos cuenta que la cualidad única de una obra de arte no hay que buscarla en una idea concebida por acto de gracia e independiente de la experiencia de la naturaleza: en el arte convergen todas nuestras experiencias vividas, elaboradas y resumidas según los normales procesos imaginativos, salvo que lo que hace única la obra es el modo en el que esta elaboración se vuelve concreta y se ofrece a la percepción, a través de un proceso de interacción entre experiencia vivida, voluntad de arte y legalidad autónoma del material sobre el que se trabaja.”

“Hoy es el día Mundial de la salud mental materna. En mi tesis del Máster cité un estudio científico que postula que de cada diez madres dos sufren de síndrome de burnout materno que es el resultado de estrés crónico que provoca la crianza de los hijos. El agotamiento emocional es una de sus variables más potentes. De las ocho restantes seguro la mitad se encuentra con estrés ya sea por las excesivas demandas del rol, por problemas de pareja, por no poder conciliar familia/trabajo remunerado, porque no alcanzan las horas del día, por la fatiga y dormir poco, por el aislamiento, por la falta de hombro en el que apoyarse. La salud materna es IMPORTANTÍSIMA porque una mamá estresada, deprimida, con ataques de pánico o ansiedad no puede ni con ella misma, ¿cómo podrá con sus hijos? ¿Quien cuida a la madre agotada? ¿Y a mamá quien la sostiene? ¿Y a mamá quien la contiene? ¿Que hacer? visibilizar hasta encandilar”
“Hoy, es un lujo leer a Sócrates, no por el costo de los libros, sino del tiempo escaso.”
“Hoy la situación parece mucho más compleja: el cuerpo individual funciona como una extensión de las tecnologías globales de comunicación. Dicho con la feminista americana Donna Haraway, el cuerpo del siglo XXI es una plataforma tecnoviva, el resultado de una implosión irreversible de sujeto y objeto, de lo natural y lo artificial. De ahí que la noción misma de «vida» resulte arcaica para identificar los actores de esta nueva tecnoecología. Por ello, Donna Haraway prefiere la noción de «tecnobiopoder» a la foucaultiana de «biopoder», puesto que va no se trata de poder sobre la vida, de poder de gestionar y maximizar la vida, como quería Foucault, sino de poder y control sobre un todo tecnovivo conectado.”
