"For man is poor. Irremediably. We *are* poverty, buffeted between desire and disgust."

-Éric Vuillard, The War of the Poor

"El martirio es una trampa para los oprimidos, sólo es deseable la victoria. Yo la contaré."

-Éric Vuillard, The War of the Poor

"And even if you don't give a shit whether or not the Chinese painter of rocks and birds had some mysterious kinship of the soul with the Landgrave of Hesse, fantasies are nonetheless one path to the truth. History is Philomela, and they raped her, or so they say, and cut her tongue, and she whistles at night from deep in the woods."

-Éric Vuillard, The War of the Poor

"No me creo nada. En esas leyendas infames, la cerviz de los renegados sólo se doblega en el momento en que se les retira la palabra. Esas leyendas sólo pretenden que resuene en nosotros la voz que nos atormenta, la voz del orden, a la que en el fondo nos hallamos tan ligados que cedemos a sus misterios y le entregamos nuestras vidas."
