“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre

“Es monstruoso (...) que la gente vaya por ahí diciendo cosas en contra de uno, y además a sus espaldas, que son completa y absolutamente ciertas.”
― Oscar Wilde

“Los libros que el mundo llama inmorales son libros que muestran al mundo su propia vergüenza.”
― Oscar Wilde, El retrato de Dorian Gray

“…not many people have ever died of love. But multitudes have perished, and are perishing every hour… – for the lack of it.”
― James Baldwin, Giovanni’s Room
