• Las empresas estadounidenses gastan más de 200.000 millones de dólares al año en trocear los cuerpos de las mujeres, en incitar a la comparación entre el yo y el otro, en vincular el valor a ideales pintados con aerógrafo, y a medida que las chicas de mi clase de séptimo curso pasaban al instituto y más allá, las imágenes que nos rodeaban se hacían cada vez más específicas, más machaconas, más insidiosas.

  sus insidiosas formas, antiguas y nuevas.

• Conventional opinions fit so comfortably into the dominant paradigm as to be seen not as opinions but as statements of fact, as 'the nature of things.' The very efficacy of opinion manipulation rests on the fact that we do not know we are being manipulated. The most insidious forms of oppression are those that so insinuate themselves into our communication universe and the recesses of our minds that we do not even realize they are acting upon us.

• The theme of corporate stories (and millions drink them in every day) seldom varies: to be happy you must consume, to be special you must conform. Absurd, obviously, yet our identities have become so fragile, so elusive, that we seem content to let advertisers provide us with their version of who we are, to let them recreate us in their image: a cookie-cutter image based on market research, shallow sociology, and insidious lies.
