The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human
Ta-Nehisi Coates
It may seem strange that people who have already obtained a position of power through violence, invest so much time into justifying their plunder with words. But even plunderers are human beings, whose violent ambitions must contend with the guilt that gnaws at them when they meet the eyes of their victims. And so a story must be told, one that raises a wall between themselves, and those they seek to throttle and rob.
Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Message

Rebecca Solnit
La mejor forma de tratar la verdad es no pretender que una tiene una relación incontestable e imparcial con los hechos, sino revelar los propios deseos e intereses, porque la verdad no reside exclusivamente en los acontecimientos, sino también en las esperanzas y las necesidades.
Rebecca Solnit, A Field Guide to Getting Lost
