bell hooks
“Addicts want release from pain; they are not thinking about love. In Stanton Peele's useful book Love and Addiction, he makes the insightful point that " addiction is not about relatedness." Addiction makes love impossible. [...] Hence, addiction is both a consequence of widespread lovelessness and a cause. [...] Greed characterizes the nature of this pursuit because it is unending; the desire is ongoing and can never be fully satisfied.”
bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions

“When greedy consumption is the order of the day, dehumanization becomes acceptable. Then, treating people like objects is not only acceptable but is required behavior. It's the culture of exchange, the tyranny of marketplace values.”
bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions

bell hooks
“Her ethical values are eroded by the intensity of longing and lack. But she no longer sees herself as living at odds with the consumer culture she lives in; she has become connected, one with the culture of consumption and driven by its demands. Love is not a topic she thinks about.”
bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions

Annemarie Schwarzenbach
“La vida en el mundo civilizado ofrece diversas posibilidades para silenciar las voces incómodas y peligrosas: la vida ordenada, las comidas, las obligaciones, la vida en familia y los fallecimientos, la prensa diaria, los juicios en el tribunal, las tertulias de antiguos compañeros de estudios, las catástrofes y los crímenes, los homenajes a los poetas, el orgullo nacional y la educación, las visitas a la iglesia y el «Cuidado con los enemigos de la patria», incluso un partido de fútbol al séptimo día; todo son estímulos y distracciones hasta que la conciencia se va hundiendo en la tranquila bahía y la necesidad insatisfecha y
eternamente joven del corazón humano se va erdiendo con hermosa modestia.”
Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Das Glückliche Tal

“En medio de esta soledad, los objetos adquieren nuevo
significado. Su presencia confirma la mía. De hecho, suelo cerciorarme de la suya para sentirme segura de mi existencia, de que soy una criatura aislada, una persona, y de que tengo un nombre, vengo de un lugar y he llegado aquí de alguna forma.”
Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Das Glückliche Tal
