Book cover for Insult and the Making of the Gay Self (Series Q)
If someone calls me a “dirty faggot” (or “dirty nigger” or “dirty kike”), or even simple “faggot” (or “nigger” or “kike”), that person is not trying to tell me something about myself. That person is letting me know that he or she has ...more

Édouard Louis
“It took me a long time to understand that she wasn't being incoherent or contradictory, but rather that it was I myself, arrogant class renegade that I was, who tried to force her discourse into a foreign kind of coherence, one more compatible with my values—that incoherence appears to exist only when you fail to reconstruct the logic that lies behind any given discourse or practice. I came to understand that many different forms of discourse intersected in my mother and spoke through her, that she was constantly torn between her shame at not having finished school and her pride that even so, as she would say, she'd 'made it through and had a bunch of beautiful kids,' and that these two modes of discourse existed only in relation to each other.”
Édouard Louis, En finir avec Eddy Bellegueule

Didier Eribon
“Interesse für Kunst oder Literatur hat stets, ob bewusst oder unbewusst, auch damit zu tun, dass man das Selbst aufwertet, indem man sich von jenen abgrenzt, die keinen Zugang zu solchen Dingen haben; es handelt sich um eine "Distinktion", einen Unterschied im Sinne einer Kluft, die konstitutiv ist für das Selbst und die Art, wie man sich selbst sieht, und zwar immer im Vergleich zu den anderen - den "bildungsfernen" oder "unteren" Schichten etwa.”
Didier Eribon, Returning to Reims

Trevor Noah
“If you're Native American and you pray to the wolves, you're a savage. If you're African and you pray to your ancestors, you're a primitive. But when white people pray to a guy who turns water into wine, well, that's just common sense.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

Trevor Noah
“People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

Trevor Noah
“Relationships are built in the silences. You spend time with people, you observe them and interact with them, and you come to know them—and that is what apartheid stole from us: time.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
