Quotes

• “Having earlier conducted some research on mental health issues, I was solicited in 2008 by the health minister, Roselyne Bachelot, to chair the national committee on suicide, but having observed how academics had served as “spoils of war” – the term in use – by the right-wing government of the time to legitimize its policies, I politely declined the proposal.”
• “Commentators, when they exist, whether on paper, on waves, or increasingly online, are not representative or even indicative of the public, although they can be influential.”
• “The world as we know it could be different and may therefore be changed.”
• “Speaking truth to power, as the motto goes – whether this power is academic or political – may be a perilous exercise.”
• “Indeed, self-censorship is probably more common than censorship, at least in democratic contexts.”
