“Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness in people.”

“We can pull atoms apart, peer back at the first light and predict the end of the universe with just a handful of equations, squiggly lines and arcane symbols that normal people cannot fathom, even though they hold sway over their lives. But it's not just regular folks; even scientists no longer comprehend the world. Take quantum mechanics, the crown jewel of our species, the most accurate, far-ranging and beautiful of all our physical theories. It lies behind the supremacy of our smartphones, behind the Internet, behind the coming promise of godlike computing power. It has completely reshaped our world. We know how to use it, it works as if by some strange miracle, and yet there is not a human soul, alive or dead, who actually gets it. The mind cannot come to grips with its paradoxes and contradictions. It's as if the theory had fallen to earth from another planet, and we simply scamper around it like apes, toying and playing with it, but with no true understanding.”

“En todos los tiempos el rostro del Poder fue visible. ¿Qué son la arquitectura, la pintura, la música de esas edades, sino monumentos, alabanzas creadas en honor de los rostros del Poder: monarcas, príncipes, reinas palpables? El Poder siempre tuvo una cara a la que era posible amar u odia, alabar o insultar, suplicar o guillotinar. Con la locura del capitalismo nació la sociedad sin rostro. Para Lenin, la última etapa del capitalismo es el imperialismo, pero no, la última etapa del capitalismo es la esquizofrenia, la separación de la realidad. Hacia finales del siglo XIX-pensé- ocurrió un hecho sin precedentes: el rostro del capitalismo desapareció enmascarado detrás de las sociedades anónimas. La perversidad de nuestro tiempo fue la aparición de las sociedades anónimas. Gracias a las tinieblas de las sociedades anónimas por primera vez en la historia los hombres ejercen impunemente el Poder. Los Presidentes de las Repúbilcas no son sino fantoches, antifaces: detrás de ellos está el rostro sin rostro de las transnacionales. Hoy el Poder lo ejercen hombres cuyos rostros no conoceremos jamás: los invisibles propietarios, los misteriosos hombres sin cara de las multinacionales.
