• Yo entro en esa nebulosa, entre comillas, talla normal de mujer americana que legiones de estilistas de moda detestan. Para que conste, soy talla 8, al menos esta semana. Muchos estilistas odian esa talla porque, en su opinión, demuestra que carezco de la disciplina necesaria para ser una asceta, o de la confianza y el descaro necesarios para ser una hedonista total.

• There's traditionally been two different ways of seeing addiction. Either it's a sin and you're a horrible bad person and you are just choosing to be hedonist or it's a chronic progressive disease. And while I certainly believe addiction is a medical problem that should be dealt with by the health system, the way we've conceptualized addiction as a disease is not actually accurate, and it has unfortunately become stigmatizing and it's also created a lot of hopelessness in a lot of people.

Eventually, despite how great it may look on Saturday night, come Monday morning there's just purposelessness.

• Don't let a grade decide your self-worth. Personally, in my opinion, someone should gauge their self-worth on what they've accomplished that makes them feel good... not in the hedonist aspect, but in the sense of personal accomplishment, as far as what they've accomplished for them, as far as their self-development and creativity is concerned.

• Bentham spent much of his life writing constitutions and proposing legal reform in the light of his utilitarianism. The evaluation of particular acts was hardly his concern. The psychology of his day was hedonistic and he worked in that framework and passed it on to Mill, but it is clear as day that Mill was not a hedonist in the sense in which we use that term today, though he used the language of pleasure and pain to express his views.

• Sigo prefiriendo a los filósofos a los rabinos, sacerdotes, imanes, ayatolás y mulás. En lugar de confiar en sus abracadabras teológicas, prefiero recurrir a alternativas a la historiografía filosófica dominante: los risueños materialistas radicales cínicos hedonistas ateos sensualistas voluptuarios. Saben que sólo hay un mundo y que la promoción de una vida después de la muerte nos priva del goce y disfrute del único que hay. Un auténtico pecado mortal.

  Michel Onfray
