Rosa Montero
“Simone de Beauvoir llamaba mujeres pelota a aquellas que, tras triunfar con grandes dificultades en la sociedad machista, se prestaban a ser utilizadas por esa misma sociedad para reforzar la discriminación; y así, su imagen era rebotada contra las demás mujeres con el siguiente mensaje: «¿Veis? Ella ha triunfado porque vale; si vosotras no lo conseguís no es por impedimentos sexistas, sino porque no valéis lo suficiente.»”
Rosa Montero, La ridícula idea de no volver a verte

Bruno Munari
“When the objects we use every day and the surroundings we live in have become in themselves a work of art, then we shall be able to say that we have achieved a balanced life.”
Bruno Munari, Design as Art

Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
“Part of grief's tyranny is that it robs you of remembering the things that matter.”
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Notes on Grief

“Not everybody reads poetry or listens to music, but every single person in the world gets up in the morning and puts on something, and whether you like it or not, that’s a statement about who you are.”
Dana Thomas, Gods and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano

Adam Minter
“Danshari.” It’s a three-character Japanese word that means, in order of the characters,1 severing a relationship with unnecessary things (dan), purging clutter that overwhelms the home (sha), and achieving a sense of peace by separating the self from things (ri). Cleaning your home of clutter, the idea goes, also cleanses your heart and mind—regardless of where the stuff ends up.”
Adam Minter, Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale
