Να κυριαρχεί παντού: στα εργοστάσια, στα γραφεία, στην ύπαιθρο, στα πανεπιστήμια, στις θάλασσες, στα νοσοκομεία, στα μέσα μαζικής ενημέρωσης – στο Διάστημα, αλλά και στον μικρόκοσμο των γενοτύπων.

Quotes by Yanis Varoufakis (?)

“Most politicians cannot be theorists. First, because they are rarely thinkers; second, because the frenetic lifestyle they impose on themselves leaves no time for big ideas. But most of all because to be a theorist you have to admit the possibility of being wrong – the provisionality of knowledge – and you know you cannot spin your way out of a theoretical problem.”
― Yanis Varoufakis, The Global Minotaur: America, Europe and the Future of the Global Economy
