“Notre société déborde de trop-plein, obscène et obèse, sous le regard de ceux qui crèvent de faim. Elle est en train de s'effondrer sous son propre poids. Pesante, matérielle, démesurée. Elle croule sous les tonnes de plaisirs manufacturés, les conteneurs chargés à ras bord, la lourde indifférence de foules télévisées et le béton des monuments aux morts. Et les derricks continuent à pomper, les banques à investir dans le pétrole, le gaz, le charbon. Le capital continue à chercher davantage de rentabilité. Le système productiviste à exploiter main d’œuvre humaine et écosystèmes dans le même mouvement ravageur. Comment diable nous est venue l'idée d'aller puiser le pétrole sous terre pour le rejeter sous forme plastique dans des océans qui en sont désormais confits ? D'assécher les sols qui pouvaient nous nourrir, pour alimenter nos voitures en carburant ? De couper les forêts qui nous faisaient respirer pour y planter de quoi remplir des pots de pâte à tartiner ?”

“Notre vie est déjà pleine de morts, et pour chacun le plus mort des morts est le petit garçon qu'il fut.
Et pourtant l'heure venue, c'est lui qui reprendra sa place à la tête de ma vie, rassemblera mes pauvres années jusqu'à la dernière, et comme un jeune chef ses vétérans, ralliant la troupe en désordre entrera le premier dans la maison du Père.”

“Notti fresche
come lenzuola lasciate
sotto il diluvio,
eccoti tu minuscolo
tu filo di respiro
vieni in visita
come lo spazio si abbandona
al vento, forte, e mi insegni
con accurata ingenuità
che sono tutta viva
gettata in piena vita
galleggiante a faccia in su
a mangiar cielo.”

“Notwithstanding the extravagance of some of their characters, these nineteenth-century novelists describe a world in which inequality was to a certain extent necessary: if there had not been a sufficiently wealthy minority, no one would have been able to worry about anything other than survival. This view of inequality deserves credit for not describing itself as meritocratic, if nothing else. In a sense, a minority was chosen to live on behalf of everyone else, but no one tried to pretend that this minority was more meritorious or virtuous than the rest. … Modern meritocratic society, especially in the United States, is much harder on the losers, because it seeks to justify domination on the ground of justice, virtue, and merit, to say nothing of the insufficient productivity of those at the bottom.”

When Grace was a little girl, her mother became very sick and lost her ability to hold down food, and in her final days lost her sight. But her sense of smell remained, strong as ever, and young Grace would bring to her mother's bedside fresh cut flowers, lilac and iris and tea rose, the sweet scents infusing the room with light and earth and memories long forgotten, and Grace brought in special foods to smell, like warm orange-ginger rolls, glazed and fragrant as winter holiday mornings, and cotton linens, laundered in lavender water and line-dried so you could smell the sun in them, and slices of ripe apples, a scent so perfect that in the end, it made her mother cry bittersweetly.”

Its supporters attempt to disguise its essential character by claiming that democratic procedures give it legitimacy, but this justification is specious. Theft is theft, whether it be carried out by one thief or by a hundred million thieves acting in concert. And it is impossible to found a good society on the institutionalization of theft.”
