Ramachandra Guha
“So long as the Constitution is not amended beyond recognition, so long as elections are held regularly and fairly and the ethos of secularism broadly prevails, so long as citizens can speak and write in the language of their choosing, so long as there is an integrated market and a moderately efficient civil service and army, and — lest I forget — so long as Hindi films are watched and their songs sung, India will survive”
Ramachandra Guha, India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy

Alison Bechdel
“Gatsby's self-willed metamorphosis from farm boy to prince is many ways identical to my father's. Like Gatsby, my father fueled this transformation with the "colossal vitality of his illusion". Unlike Gatsby he did this on a school teacher's salary.”
Alison Bechdel, Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic

Eliezer Yudkowsky
“I see little hope for democracy as an effective form of government, but I admire the poetry of how it makes its victims complicit in their own destruction.”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality

Donald Bradman
“The finest of athletes have, along with skill, a few more essential qualities: to conduct their life with dignity, with integrity, with courage and modesty. All these, are totally compatible with pride, ambition, determination and competitiveness”
Donald Bradman

Eliezer Yudkowsky
“I'm wondering if there's a spell to make lightning flash in the background whenever I make an ominous resolution.”
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
