«Cásate y te arrepentirás, no te cases y también te arrepentirás; casarse o no casarse, te arrepentirás de todos modos; te cases o no te cases, lo lamentarás. Ríete de las absurdidades del mundo y te arrepentirás; llora por las absurdidades del mundo y te arrepentirás; te rías o llores te arrepentirás igualmente; tanto si te ríes de ellas o bien llores por ellas lo lamentarás de todos modos. Confía en una muchacha y te arrepentirás; no le des confianza y te arrepentirás igualmente; le des o no le des confianza te arrepentirás en ambos casos; tanto si le das confianza como si no se la das lo lamentarás. Ahórcate y te arrepentirás; no te ahorques y te arrepentirás, te ahorques o no te ahorques, lo lamentarás; tanto si te ahorcas como si no lo haces, lo lamentarás de todos modos».

Kierkegaard

“British people, I’ve observed, are quite proud that they’re not especially skilled at bureaucracy. Americans, in contrast, seem embarrassed by the fact that on the whole, they’re really quite good at it. It doesn’t fit the American image. We’re supposed to be self-reliant individualists. Yet the fact remains that the United States is - and for well over a century has been - a profoundly bureaucratic society. The reason that this is easy to overlook is because most American bureaucratic habits and sensibilities - from the clothing to the language to the design of forms and offices - emerged from the private sector. When novelists and sociologists described the ‘organization man’ or the 'man in the gray flannel suit’, the soullessly conformist equivalent to the Soviet apparatchik, they were not talking about functionaries from the Department of Landmarks and Preservation or the Social Security Administration - they were talking about corporate middle management.”

— David Graeber, The Iron Law of Liberalism and the Era of Total Bureaucratization
