“Who what am I? My answer: I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have been seen done, of everything done-to-me. I am everyone everything whose being-in-the-world affected was affected by mine. I am anything that happens after I’ve gone which would not have happened if I had not come. Nor am I particularly exceptional in this matter; each “I”, every one of the now-six-hundred-million-plus of us, contains a similar multitude. I repeat for the last time: to understand me, you’ll have to swallow the world.”
― Salman Rushdie, Midnight’s Children

“Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious.”

“Thank you for this baby," she says from the backseat. "He's beautiful."

I laugh. "You're responsible for the beautiful part, Rachel. The only thing he got from me was his balls."

She laughs. She laughs hard. "Oh, my God, I know," she says.

"They're so big."

We both laugh at our son's big balls.”
― Colleen Hoover, Ugly Love

“Però la Mei ha tardat poc a constatar que res no és mai com en el passat, que els punts de partida són sempre diferents, que no hi ha marxa enrere encara que de vegades ens ho sembli, sinó camins nous que s’han de transitar i aprendre una altra vegada.”
― M. Mercè Cuartiella, L'afer marsellès
