“But it was definitely a hecatomb, a slaughter on a staggering scale that was not intentional, but that could have been recognized much earlier as the collateral damage of a perfidious, rapacious policy of exploitation, a living sacrifice on the altar of the pathological pursuit of profit.”
― David Van Reybrouck, Congo: The Epic History of a People

“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
