“I teach my students that you can't be a journalist if you are going to be judgmental. If you have a judgmental nuance as you pose a question, people will close down.”
Robert Boynton

Edward W. Said
“Being myself meant not only never being quite right, but also never feeling at ease, always expecting to be interrupted or corrected, to have my privacy invaded and my unsure person set upon.”
Edward Said, Out of Place

Antonio Gramsci
“Stato" significa specialmente direzione consapevole delle grandi moltitudini nazionali; è quindi necessario un "contatto" sentimentale e ideologico con tali moltitudini e, in una certa misura, simpatia e comprensione dei loro bisogni e delle loro esigenze.”
Antonio Gramsci

Edward W. Said
“Il sionismo, dalle prime fasi della sua evoluzione moderna sino alla creazione dello stato d'Israele, fece sempre appello a un'opinione pubblica europea, per la quale la classificazione dei territori d'oltremare e degli indigeni in classi inferiori era giusta e “naturale”. Ecco perché oggi ogni singolo stato o movimento di liberazione nelle ex colonie dell'Africa o dell'Asia comprende, si identifica e sostiene la lotta palestinese. In molti casi c'è un'indiscutibile coincidenza tra l'esperienza degli arabi palestinesi sotto il dominio sionista e la storia di quelle persone dalla pelle nera, gialla o scura che venivano descritte dagli imperialisti del XIX secolo come esseri inferiori e non propriamente umani.”
Edward W. Said, The Question of Palestine

John Steinbeck
“It was Jesus Maria's practice to go to the post office every day, first because there he could see many people whom he knew, and second because on that windy post office corner he could look at the legs of a great many girls.”
John Steinbeck, Tortilla Flat
