"Power needs knowledge, because knowledge can justify the idea that there is a thing(the "subject") to be organized, categorized and measured, that human subjectivity is not an irreducible field of differences that continually counter and defy reduction to a single description. Social administration and politics alike need to believe that the subject exists".

Nick Mansfield.

"Unsuccessful lover, that is, aesthete; less an active creator than a delighted contemplator of the fine arts as he was of women"

Julia Kristeva. Tales of Love.
