Latour, Bruno

"The crisis of representation is also an opportunity for new forms of knowledge production."

"Nature has never been pure; it has always been entangled with culture and politics."

"To describe networks is to show how order emerges from the coordination of heterogeneous elements."

"The modern world has created unprecedented hybrids while denying their existence."

"Science is a collective enterprise; credit should be distributed among all the actors involved."

"Power is not the ability to impose one's will; it is the capacity to enroll others."

"We must learn to think without the scaffolding of the modern constitution."

"The sacred and the profane are not separate realms; they are entangled in practice."

"Innovation does not come from breaking with the past but from recombining existing elements."

"To study science is to study the social; the two cannot be separated."

"We are all responsible for the world we create through our associations and alliances."

"The collective must be composed again and again; it is never finally established."

"Facts and values are not opposites; they are co-produced in the same processes."

"To follow the actors requires patience, attention, and a willingness to be surprised."

"The world is not divided into nature and society but made up of hybrid networks."

"Objects have their own logic, their own trajectory, their own forms of agency."

"We must stop thinking of ourselves as separate from the world and recognize ourselves as part of it."

"Translation is not a neutral activity; every translation transforms what is being moved."

"The modern notion of the autonomous subject is a myth that obscures our interdependence."

"To make something matter is to gather forces, to create associations, to compose a network."

"We are living in a time of great entanglement; we must learn to think and act accordingly."

"The distinction between inside and outside, local and global, is not as clear as we imagine."

"Politics must become the art of assembling the diverse elements that compose our world."

"To acknowledge the agency of things is not to anthropomorphize them; it is to recognize their reality."

"The modern promise of purification has failed; we must learn to live with hybridity."

"Science does not progress toward a final truth; it opens new questions and creates new puzzles."

"We cannot return to a state of nature; we can only move forward by including nature in our composition."

"The collective is not a totality; it is an ongoing process of assembly and negotiation."

"To understand the world, we must attend to the details of how things are connected."

"Facts are not simply found; they are made through the careful coordination of human and non-human actors."
