• "An atom blaster is a good weapon, but it can point both ways."




• "The form through which symbolic productions share most directly in the social conditions of their production is also the means by which their most specific effect is exercised; specifically symbolic violence can only be exercised by the person who exercizes it, and endured by the person who endures it, in a form which results in its misrecognition as such, in other words, which results in its recognition as legitimate."




• Therefore, "Symbolic violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
