“That the question of likability even exists in literary conversations is odd. It implies that we are engaging in a courtship.

Certainly we can find kinship in fiction, but literary merit shouldn’t be dictated by whether we want to be friends or lovers with those about whom we read.”

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
