Caroline Criado Pérez
“The result of this deeply male-dominated culture is that the male experience, the male perspective, has come to be seen as universal, while the female experience--that of half the global population, after all--is seen as, well, niche.”
Caroline Criado-Pérez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

Michel Houellebecq
“People don’t really care all that much about their own death. What they really worry about, their one real fixation, is how to avoid physical suffering as much as possible.”
Michel Houellebecq, Submission

Michel Houellebecq
“To be fair, when I was young, the elections could not have been less interesting; the mediocrity of the ‘political offerings’ was almost surprising. A centre-left candidate would be elected, serve either one or two terms, depending how charismatic he was, then for obscure reasons he would fail to complete a third. When people got tired of that candidate, and the centre-left in general, we’d witness the phenomenon of democratic change, and the voters would install a candidate of the centre-right, also for one or two terms, depending on his personal appeal. Western nations took a strange pride in this system, though it amounted to little more than a power-sharing deal between two rival gangs, and they would even go to war to impose it on nations that failed to share their enthusiasm.”
Michel Houellebecq, Soumission

“When we exclude half of humanity from the production of knowledge we lose out on potentially transformative insights.”
Caroline Criado Pérez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men

José Saramago
“He aprendido en este oficio que los que mandan no sólo no se detienen ante lo que nosotros llamamos absurdos, sino que se sirven de ellos para entorpecer la consciencia y aniquilar la razón.”
José Saramago, Seeing
