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

Claudia Rankine
“It is the White Man who creates the black man. But it is the black man who creates.”
Claudia Rankine, Citizen: An American Lyric

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

Ben Lerner
“How many out-of-character things did I need to do, I wondered, before the world rearranged itself around me?”
Ben Lerner, 10:04

Azar Nafisi
“Most of us, no matter what we say, are walking in the dark, whistling in the dark,” Baldwin said in an interview in 1961. “Nobody knows what is going to happen to him from one moment to the next, or how one will bear it. This is irreducible. And it’s true of everybody. Now, it is true that the nature of society is to create, among its citizens, an illusion of safety; but it is also absolutely true that the safety is always necessarily an illusion. Artists are here to disturb the peace.”
Azar Nafisi, The Republic of Imagination: America in Three Books
