Mol, Annemarie

"To be modern is to be entangled in multiple, sometimes contradictory forms of reality."

"The good life requires tending to relations, not mastering nature."

"Facts do not speak for themselves; they are made to speak through careful work."

"We are accountable for the worlds we help to bring into being."

"To know the world is to participate in its making, not to stand apart from it."

"The body is not a thing to be fixed, but a process to be tended."

"We live in a time of proliferating realities, requiring new forms of coordination."

"To be responsible is to respond to the specificity of each situation."

"The question is not whether something is real, but what it means to make it real."

"Care is an art, requiring sensitivity to the particular needs of others."

"We are always complicit in the making of the world; there is no innocent position."

"The good is not achieved once and for all, but performed anew in each encounter."

"Knowledge is not a possession, but a practice, a way of doing."

"We are entangled in the world; separation is always temporary and partial."

"To live well is to attend carefully to the others with whom we share the world."

"The real is multiple, and we must learn to navigate between different versions of it."

"Facts are not foundations, but outcomes of laborious practices of making and maintaining."

"We do not choose our entanglements; we live in the midst of them and make them as best we can."

"To be sick is to be rendered visible in medical systems in particular ways."

"Care requires ongoing attention, not a one-time intervention."

"The good is not given in nature, but achieved through moral and material work."

"We are not authors of the world, but co-creators of it with others."

"Knowledge is always embodied, always situated, always relational."

"The body that is cared for is a body that is empowered."

"We live in a world of multiple realities, each with its own logic and requirements."

"To be ethical is to be attuned to the dependencies and vulnerabilities of others."

"The good life is not a life without suffering, but a life well-supported."

"Facts are not neutral; they are laden with values and implications."

"We are responsible for the descriptions we offer of the world."

"To know is to be implicated, to be part of what one knows."
