“These scams enraged them, and from the crucible of their fury, they themselves emerged pure. They wanted corruption removed from the root, so that honest people could prosper for a change, as if they had no role to play in the shape of their lives, in the fate of their cities and their country, as if these stories of graft unfolded in black vacuum.”
― Amrita Mahale, Milk Teeth
