Viet Thanh Nguyen
“The worst thing about living in America is the corruption. At home, we could contain it in the bars and nightclubs and bases. But here, will will not be able to protect our children from the lewdness and the shallowness and the tawdriness Americans love so much. They're too permissive.”
Viet Thanh Nguyen, The Sympathizer

Abhijit Naskar
“I Write to Destroy You (The Sonnet)

I don’t write to pamper your ego,
I don't write to give you comfort.
I don't write to teach you self-love,
I write to destroy all selfish thought.
I don't write to inspire your pride,
I don't write to cater to your insecurity.
I don't write to entertain shallowness,
I only write to abolish self-centricity.
I don't write to tickle the instaslaves,
I don't write to peddle false perfection.
I don't write to lick the privileged boots,
I write to make soldiers of self-annihilation.
My science and my art were born on the street.
That's where I learnt, all suffering is born of greed.”
Abhijit Naskar, Giants in Jeans: 100 Sonnets of United Earth

“Our freedoms are vanishing. If you do not get active to take a stand now against all that is wrong while we still can, then maybe one of your children may elect to do so in the future, when it will be far more riskier — and much, much harder.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Iris Murdoch
“Those who occasion loss of dignity are hard to forgive.”
Iris Murdoch, The Black Prince
