Mol, Annemarie

"To study the body is to study the production of reality through material-semiotic practices."

"The question is not whether something is objective or subjective, but how it is enacted and performed."

"We are all implicated in the worlds we describe. There is no view from nowhere."

"The coordination of care requires attention to details, to the small things that matter."

"To be entangled is to be responsible, even if we did not choose the entanglement."

"The body is an interface, a threshold, a place where worlds meet and intersect."

"Knowledge is not about getting it right, but about engaging responsibly with the world."

"The question of what counts as real is always a question of what practices are mobilized."

"Care is not something that can be automated away. It requires presence and attention."

"To perform normalcy is to exclude the abnormal, and we must ask at what cost."

"The world does not come with ready-made boundaries. We draw them through our practices."

"The body is not something we have; it is something we do, in coordination with others."

"To be implicated in care is to be implicated in the production of life itself."

"The question of how to live well is inseparable from the question of how to live together well."

"Coordination in care is not about reaching a single truth, but about keeping multiple realities in play."

"The modern dream of purification, of separation, is a fantasy that comes at great cost."

"To attend to care is to attend to the material, the messy, the embodied, the concrete."

"The body is always already political, economic, social, and material all at once."

"We must learn to move beyond the binary of nature and culture, and attend to their entanglement."

"The question of what is possible is always a question answered through practices, not through abstract thought."

"To care is to be caught up in webs of obligation and interdependence that cannot be wished away."

"The body is a singularity and a multiplicity at once, and we must learn to live with that paradox."

"Care work is invisible labor, and making it visible is a first step toward justice."

"The question of expertise is a question about who has the authority to speak and to decide."

"To perform a world is to exclude other possible worlds, and we must be aware of the cost."

"The body is not a blank slate to be inscribed by culture, but an active participant in its own becoming."

"To study anything is to study the networks and relations that constitute it and hold it in place."

"The coordination of care requires imagination, creativity, and the willingness to improvise."

"We are always making ontological choices, and these choices have real consequences for real beings."

"The question of identity is not a question of essence, but of how we are performed and recognized."
