Nor are the fears and anxieties I have been describing special to great physicists. We all have to manage them, if only by finding ways to deny them. My own peculiar technique of dealing with what I hope is a good idea is not to work on it

“It's been my habit of mind, over these years, to understand that every situation in which human beings are involved can be turned on its head. Everything someone assures me to be true might not be. Every pillar of belief the world rests on may or may not be about to explode. Most things don't stay the way they are very long. Knowing this, however, has not made me cynical. Cynical means believing that good isn't possible; and I know for a fact that good is. I simply take nothing for granted and try to be ready for the change that's soon to come.”

“Am I sure that there is no mind behind our existence and no mystery anywhere in the universe? I think I am. What joy, what relief there would be, if we could declare so with complete conviction. If that were so I could wish to live for ever. How terrifying and glorious the role of man if, indeed, without guidance and without consolation he must create from his own rituals the meaning for his existence and write the rules whereby he lives.”

“No es solo que las empresas de redes sociales vendan nuestros datos personales a terceros para ganar dinero con nosotros, no es solo que se haya abandonado la comunicación cara a cara en favor de la tarea más propia de Sísifo de actualizar el timeline de Facebook, sino que todas las relaciones humanas se han reconfigurado según la normalidad de las compras. Los amantes se han convertido en productos desechables, los amigos de Facebook se descartan cuando no satisfacen al cliente, los conflictos personales se evitan en favor de unas reseñas anónimas más tóxicas que las que daríamos a una aspiradora que funciona mal. Bauman señala que las aptitudes sociales declinan cuando tratamos a «otros seres humanos como objetos de consumo y los juzgamos, por el patrón de los objetos de consumo, según el nivel de placer que nos garantizan [...]. En el mejor de los casos, los otros son nuestros compañeros en la actividad esencialmente solitaria del consumo».”
