“[V]iolence against women is a key element in this new global war, not only because of the horror it evokes or the messages it sends but because of what women represent in their capacity to keep their communities together and, equally important, to defend noncommercial conceptions of security and wealth.”

“The richest forms of political life are possible only when people are free to do more than conform their societies to preexisting codes, whether those codes claim to be set by earthly or divine powers. The fullness of political life requires a freedom on the other side of binding code. Because people are born into a world already ordered by codes of many kinds, some kind of emancipation is necessary for political life to begin. The divine violence of the higher law does this work. It does not bring politics to an end; it makes politics possible.”

“Divine violence expiates; it releases from guilt. It operates not by the destruction of bodies but by the destruction of the systems of laws or ethics that declare an action to be right or wrong.”

“We say: Anything is possible. But, what we mean is: I hope good is possible.”

“Funding as fragmented solidarity in ways that repression never could.”
