Callon, Michel

"To speak is to betray; to be silent is also to betray"

"Networks have no center, only shifting points of articulation"

"Value is not discovered but constructed through market practices"

"We are all implicated in the reproduction of the systems we critique"

"The question of who speaks has as much importance as what is said"

"Responsibility cannot be delegated away but only deferred"

"The future is not predetermined but continuously being negotiated"

"To theorize is to engage in world-making"

"Difference is the condition of possibility for meaning"

"Every translation is a betrayal and a creation simultaneously"

"The trace of the other persists in every representation"

"We must learn to think with and through our tools, not despite them"

"Power operates through the seemingly innocent categorization of things"

"The social order is fragile and perpetually on the edge of collapse"

"To care is to be vulnerable to the other"

"Networks reveal what hierarchies conceal"

"The authentic emerges from the friction between translations"

"We are all responsible for the monsters we create"

"Stability requires continuous work; it is never assured"

"The question is never what something is, but what it does"

"Every boundary is a political achievement"

"To exist is to be networked; isolation is impossible"

"The invisible is what we refuse to see, not what cannot be seen"

"Innovation is the art of making the impossible seem inevitable"

"We must account for the labor that goes into making things work"

"Power operates most effectively when it is least visible"

"The margins contain more truth than the center"

"To participate is to be changed by what one participates in"

"Meaning emerges from the play of differences, not from presence"

"We are condemned to translation; it is the human condition"
