“Homes, without us realizing it, have been transformed over time into machines created to separate our life from that of other species, to make free cohabitation mutually impossible. The adoption of some rare example of non-human life within domestic walls certainly does nothing to quell fears about biological diversity: the home remains the expression of our war against other species, or rather of all species against each other.”

Emanuele Coccia, Philosophy of the Home. Domestic Space and Happiness, 2024

“I menneskehedens historie er det nyt, at vi bruger så meget tid indendørs [...] I det mest moderne er naturen en slags fritidsbeskæftigelse. Naturen bliver et sted, man ikke hører hjemme.”

Cecilie Rubow, Indendørsmenneskets natur, 2022

“'No physical danger exists,' the doctor said positively. 'No ghost in all the long histories of ghosts has ever hurt anyone physically. The only damage done is by the victim to himself. One cannot even say that the ghost attacks the mind, because [...] in all our conscious minds, as we sit here talking, there is not one iota of belief in ghosts [...] No, the menace of the supernatural is that it attacks where modern minds are weakest, where we have abandoned our protective armor of superstition and have no substitute defense.'”

Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House, 1959
