“...but once more I say do as you please, for we women are born to this burden of being obedient to our husbands, though they be blockheads”
― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

“الآراء التى تجرى مجرى العقيدة هى دائماً أصعب الآراء تفسيراً، لأنه ما من أحد يخطر له أن يقلبها على وجوهها، أو أن يحاول بحثها أو فحصها. إنما يتلقاها و كفى .. كما يتلقى أن الشمس تصنع النهار، هل هذا أمر يحتاج إلى مناقشة؟..”

“الكاتب الحي يُنهش كاللحم الحى”

“Every given commodity fights for itself, cannot acknowledge the others, and attempts to impose itself everywhere as if it were the only one. The spectacle, then is the epic poem of this struggle, an epic which cannot be concluded by the fall of any Troy. The spectacle does not sign the praises of men and their weapons, but of commodities and their passions. In this blind struggle every commodity, pursuing its passion, unconsciously realizes something higher: the becoming-world of the commodity, which is also the becoming-commodity of the world. Thus, by means of a ruse of commodity logic, what's specific in the commodity wears itself out in the fight while the commodity-form moves toward its absolute realization.”
― Guy Debord, The Society of the Spectacle
