Quotes by Neel Mukherjee  (?)

“You take away economic security and the whole pack of cards collapses. Everyone is at each other’s throats. All these vaunted bourgeois values that prop up society – love, duty, honour, respect – all rest on power-relations lubricated by economics. They are the gloss people put on the naked truth: self-interest.”
Neel Mukherjee, The Lives of Others

“Within minutes a small crowd had gathered: what could be more interesting than other people's lives?”
Neel Mukherjee, The Lives of Others

“Why did they all think alike? Typical bourgeois brainwashed homogeneity? How else could this unvarying calculus abouth the worth of one's own kind measured against the lives of others have come about?”
Neel Mukherjee, The Lives of Others
