Édouard Louis
“Ker zdaj vem, da so tisto, kar imenujejo književnost, zgradili proti življenjem in telesom, kakršno je njeno. Ker odslej vem, da je pisati o njej in pisati o njenem življenju pisati proti književnosti.”
Édouard Louis, Combats et métamorphoses d'une femme

Virginia Eubanks
“[Denial] contorts our physical geography, as we build infrastructure—suburbs, highways, private schools, and prisons—that allow the professional middle-class to actively avoid sharing the lives of poor and working-class people.”
Virginia Eubanks, Automating Inequality: How High-Tech Tools Profile, Police, and Punish the Poor
