Saber distingir la catalanitat del catalanisme és una operació essencial. Tot el problema depèn d'aquesta distinció, de si es fa o s'omet, de si s'accepta o es rebutja.

2017 October 8, Josep Cuní, quoting Agustí Calvet, “Essència i sensibilitat”, in El País:

Des de fa un temps, unes poques dècades potser, hi ha tot un afany de proclamar la catalanitat dels autors que a Catalunya escriuen en castellà, com si aquesta condició els hagués estat omesa, com si d’alguna manera els haguessin manllevat un dret elemental, una condició inherent.
