There follows one of the most empathetic and psychologically perceptive accounts of the traumatic aftermath of rape in any work of literature, ancient or modern –
“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».”

“It is in this sense that responsibility is liberty; the more decisions that you are forced to make alone, the more you are aware of your freedom to choose.”

“I'm sick of not having the courage to be an absolute nobody.”
