LeiturasQueer

“Today’s milestone is human madness. Politics is a part of it, particularly in its lethal outbursts. Politics is not, as it was for Hannah Arendt, the field where human freedom is unfurled. The modern world, the world of world war, the Third World, the underground world of death that acts upon us, do not have the civilized splendor of the Greek city state. The modern political domain is massively, in totalitarian fashion, social, leveling, exhausting. Hence madness is a space of antisocial, apolitical, and paradoxically free individuation”
― Julia Kristeva, Black Sun

“We lose ourselves in what we read, only to return to ourselves, transformed and part of a more expansive world.”
― Judith Butler

“My library is an archive of longings.”
― Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980

“Talvez seja produtivo desconfiar do estabelecido, do pensamento muito bem arranjado e absolutamente coerente, talvez se deva suspeitar das coisas e dos sujeitos demasiadamente respeitáveis e intocáveis. Talvez se deva estranhar, sempre.”
― Guacira Lopes Louro, Um Corpo Estranho
