“Crec que no és gaire lluny del que Weil volia trobar a la fàbrica, la possibilitat en forma d’autorització moral per donar testimoni, per poder parlar-ne. A mi em passa una cosa molt similar amb els amics, la família i les situacions que viuen: com pots parlar de la guerra, mantenint aquesta distància variable? No sé si estic legitimat per fer-ho, d’aquí, suposo, l’acumulació d’hores de voluntariat, la quantitat de documents que busco o la cerca en el record dels Monegres, com si hagués de menester tots aquests comprovants per tenir alguna cosa a dir, per poder fer creure al lector que el meu relat té alguna importància. Necessito tenir un tiquet, el comprovant de l’experiència. No tinc una síndrome de l’impostor, vés, l’acceptació que no es pot ser mai una altra cosa, que el que explico sempre tindrà una aproximació imperfecta. «Todo lo que tengo traigo», que deia la iaia María.”
Francesc Serés, El món interior

“Hi ha una nova koiné dels gustos i del sabors, una fruita més dolça i rodona, una fruita que anivella als consumidors que pensen que si tothom té la mateixa poma, ningú no en tindrà cap millor que la seva. El nou comunisme: si les pomes són idèntiques, el consumidor no tindrà dubtes. I, això encara és més important, si els consumidors acaben sent idèntics, les pomes no tindran dubtes a l'hora d'escollir-los a ells, com passa amb els models de cotxe, amb les sèries de televisió o amb la roba. És molt difícil comprar tant sense vendre's una mica cada vegada.”
Francesc Serés, La pell de la frontera

Sarah Smarsh
“That evening at Steinem’s talk on the University of Texas campus, I was struck by her explanation for how such venomous misogyny could overrun the presidential election in 2016. The moment a woman is statistically most likely to be murdered by her male abuser, Steinem pointed out, is when she escapes. Losing control of her is the unbearable threat that makes the violent ex-husband snap.

Expanding this idea to a patriarchy losing control of half of the U.S. population would indeed explain a lot about recent years: Abortion provider George Tiller’s murder in Wichita in 2009, Hillary Clinton’s treatment and loss in 2016, the reliable track record of violence against and hatred toward women among male perpetrators of this century’s mass-shooting epidemic. It would explain, too, perhaps, how a self-possessed, powerful woman like Parton gets turned into a boob joke.

Like Steinem, Parton is an icon of American womanhood in the twentieth century, still going full force today, perhaps with the energy other women their age who made more orthodox decisions must offer to their grandchildren. Steinem did not come from wealth, but the two women nonetheless had different experiences of socioeconomic class: one went to college, and one took a guitar to Nashville. In different ways and with different tacks, they both charted the course for us to nominate a woman for president in 2016.”

“La biología nos asegura un lugar en sus vidas, pero igual ansiamos que nos elijan como padres. Que alguna vez digan esta frase tan maravillosamente rara: 'Mi padre fue mi verdadero padre'.”
Alejandro Zambra, Literatura infantil

“I feel sexy,” Parton said. “I like being a woman. If I’d-a been a man, I’d-a probably been a drag queen.”
