Ilya Kaminsky
“At the trial of God, we will ask: why did you allow all this?
And the answer will be an echo: why did you allow all this?”
Ilya Kaminsky, Deaf Republic

“Attention is the beginning of devotion.”
Mary Oliver, Upstream: Selected Essays

Hannah Arendt
“True goal of totalitarian propaganda is not persuasion, but organization of the polity. ... What convinces masses are not facts, and not even invented facts, but only the consistency of the system of which they are presumably part.”
Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism

Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh
“विचार आते हैं
लिखते समय नहीं
बोझ ढोते वक़्त पीठ पर
सिर पर उठाते समय भार
परिश्रम करते समय
चांद उगता है व
पानी में झलमलाने लगता है
हृदय के पानी में

विचार आते हैं
लिखते समय नहीं
...पत्थर ढोते वक़्त
पीठ पर उठाते वक़्त बोझ
साँप मारते समय पिछवाड़े
बच्चों की नेकर फचीटते वक़्त

पत्थर पहाड़ बन जाते हैं
नक्शे बनते हैं भौगोलिक
पीठ कच्छप बन जाती है
समय पृथ्वी बन जाता है...”
Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh

V.S. Naipaul
“government that breaks its own laws can also easily break you.”
V.S. Naipaul, A Bend in the River
