Naomi Wolf
“Economist Marvin Harris described women as a "literate and docile" labor pool, and "therefore desirable candidates for the information- and people-processing jobs thrown up by modern service industries." The qualities that best serve employers in such a labor pool's workers are: low self-esteem, a tolerance for dull repetitive tasks, lack of ambition, high conformity, more respect for men (who manage them) than women (who work beside them), and little sense of control over their lives.”
Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth

Ryszard Kapuściński
“Svetu hrozia tri pliagy, tri morové rany.
Prvá pliaga - nacionalizmus.
Druhý - rasizmus.
Tretia - náboženský fundamentalizmus.
Tieto tri pliagy majú rovnakú črtu, spoločného menovateľa - je to agresívna, všemocná, totálna iracionalita. Nie je možné preniknúť do vedomia zasiahnutého niektorou touto pliagou. V takejto hlave horí svätá hranica, ktorá iba čaká obete. Každý pokus o pokojný rozhovor sa skončí neúspechom. Takémuto človeku nejde o rozhovor, iba o deklaráciu. Aby si mu prisvedčil, dal za pravdu, podpísal súhlas. Inak v jeho očiach nemáš cenu, pretože zavážiš iba ako nástroj, ako inštrument, ako zbraň. Ľudia nejestvujú - je iba vec.”
Ryszard Kapuściński

Gloria Steinem
“When humans are ranked instead of linked, everyone loses.”
Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road

Ludwig Wittgenstein
“No pain can be greater than the pain of one person. [...] In other words, no suffering can be greater than that of one human being. [...} The whole planet cannot suffer more than a lone soul.”
Ludwig Wittgenstein

Naomi Wolf
“the central rule of the myth: For every feminist action there is an equal and opposite beauty myth reaction.”
Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth: How Images of Beauty Are Used Against Women
