“Hij heeft geen grenzen overgestoken, de grenzen zijn hem overgestoken.”
David Van Reybrouck, Zink

“Stel dat er vandaag een procedure moet worden ontworpen om de volkswil te leren kennen, zou het beste idee dan werkelijk zijn om mensen eens in de vier of vijf jaar met een kartonnetje in de hand te laten aanschuiven bij een stemlokaal, waar ze in het schemerduister van een stemhokje een bolletje mogen kleuren, waarover maandenlang rusteloos is bericht in een commerciële omgeving die baat heeft bij rusteloosheid? En zouden we dan dat bizarre, archaïsche ritueel nog steeds 'de hoogtijdagen van de democratie' durven noemen?”
David Van Reybrouck, Tegen verkiezingen

“La democracia es una forma de gobierno por la cual el pueblo se gobierna a sí mismo. ¿Por qué no nos entra eso en la cabeza? El problema no radica en que los ciudadanos quieran y puedan pensar juntos sobre la política, ya que la respuesta a la pregunta es un sí rotundo. El problema radica en que la mayoría de los políticos todavía no quieren tal cosa.”
David Van Reybrouck, Contra las elecciones: Cómo salvar la democracia
