“Knowledge is no guarantee of good behavior, but ignorance is a virtual guarantee of bad behavior.”
― Martha C. Nussbaum, Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities

“The truth is always something that is told, not something that is known. If there were no speaking or writing, there would be no truth about anything. There would only be what is.”
― Susan Sontag, The Benefactor

“People say sometimes that Beauty is superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

“Con toda seguridad no habrá una política del amor. Sin embargo, las acciones políticas comunican con el Eros, pues suponen el deseo común de otra forma de vida. El amor interrumpe la perspectiva del uno y hace surgir el mundo desde el punto de vista del otro, de la diferencia. Así, el Eros constituye una fuente de energía para la protesta política. Se manifiesta como aspiración revolucionaria a una sociedad completamente diferente. Es más, mantiene en pie la fidelidad a lo venidero.”
― Byung-Chul Han, La agonía del Eros
