Claudia Rankine
“Perhaps the most insidious and least understood form of segregation is that of the word.”
Claudia Rankine, Citizen: An American Lyric

Azar Nafisi
“Pragmatists are sometimes more prone to illusion than dreamers; when they fall for something, they fall hard, not knowing how to protect themselves, while we dreamers are more practiced in surviving the disillusionment that follows when we wake up from our dreams.”
Azar Nafisi, The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books

Jeff Vandermeer
“some questions will ruin you if you are denied the answer long enough.”
Jeff VanderMeer, Annihilation

Doris Lessing
“Standardisation of intellectual and emotional patterns had become extreme. A main mechanism for achieving this was a device that supplied identical indoctrinational material simultaneously into every living or working unit, whether that of a single person, a family, or an institution, through a whole country. These programmes were standardised, particularly for children. At best they reinforced a low level of ethic—kindness to animals, for instance—but the worst was inherent in the sheer fact of the infinite repetition.”
Doris Lessing, Re: Colonised Planet 5, Shikasta

Noam Chomsky
“So what the media do, in effect, is to take the set of assumptions which express the basic ideas of the propaganda system, whether about the Cold War or the economic system or the “national interest” and so on, and then present a range of debate within that framework—so the debate only enhances the strength of the assumptions, ingraining them in people’s minds as the entire possible spectrum of opinion that there is.”
Noam Chomsky, Understanding Power: The Indispensable Chomsky
