“You've got to face facts and the fact is life is a joke, a fucking bad joke, or, no, a bad fucking joke. There's no point taking it seriously because whatever happens, and I mean whatever the fuck, the punch line is the same: you go out horizontally. You see the point? No fucking point.”
Jeet Thayil, Narcopolis

Anna Burns
“According to the police, of course, our community was a rogue community. It was we who were the enemy, we who were the terrorists, the civilian terrorists, the associates of terrorists or simply individuals suspected of being but not yet discovered to be terrorists. That being the case, and understood by both parties to be the case, the only time you’d call the police in my area would be if you were going to shoot them, and naturally they would know this and so wouldn’t come.”
Anna Burns, Milkman

“Learning a language is the closest thing to becoming somebody else.”
Jason Allen-Paisant

“When does a war end? When can I say your name and have it mean only your name and not what you left behind?”

“I don't want you to be hopeful, I want you to panic”
Greta Thunberg
