“The default assumption tends to be that it is politically important to designate everyone as beautiful, that it is a meaningful project to make sure that everyone can become, and feel, increasingly beautiful. We have hardly tried to imagine what it might look like if our culture could do the opposite—de-escalate the situation, make beauty matter less.”

“Somewhere in the Andes, they believe to this very day that the future is behind you. It comes up from behind your back, surprising and unforeseeable, while the past is always before your eyes, that which has already happened. When they talk about the past, the people of the Aymara tribe point in front of them. You walk forward facing the past and you turn back toward the future.”

“Misschien moeten we bezoedelen, smeuren en ranzen. Dat is tenslotte wie we zijn. Gooi mest op je levenspad en zet er kleine gekleurde kaarsjes in die je mag uitblazen. Wens maar dat alles stuk gaat. Wens jezelf weg. Dan hoef je niet te zorgen dat de verf op je smoel blijft zitten als je lacht. Als je je tanden wilt laten schitteren schuur ze dan kapot. Schoonheid is een laagje over troep. Stilte is je oren dicht voor herrie en rust is verzonnen stilte. Alles schreeuwt door. Liefde is haat met kusjes. Zachtheid krijg je door te boenen met een staalborstel tot het bloed eruit spat.”
