Sandeepa Datta Mukherjee, Those Delicious Letters

Olivia Laing
“As Epictetus wrote almost two thousand years ago: ‘For because a man is alone, he is not for that reason also solitary; just as though a man is among numbers, he is not therefore not solitary.”
Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone

An ordinary citizen could neither make sense of large parts of it nor was it likely to be of much interest to them. It may have captured some of the demands of the freedom movement in terms of rights but had chosen not to channel its spirit of questioning the fundamentals of colonial rule: a large, all-powerful state with an overriding Union government.”
Arghya SenGupta, The Colonial Constitution

David Diop
“Temporary madness makes it possible to forget the truth about bullets. Temporary madness, in war, is bravery’s sister.”

Olivia Laing
“In her diary of 1929, Virginia Woolf described a sense of inner loneliness that she thought might be illuminating to analyse, adding: ‘If I could catch the feeling, I would: the feeling of the singing of the real world, as one is driven by loneliness and silence from the habitable world.’ Interesting, the idea that loneliness might be taking you towards an otherwise unreachable experience of reality.”
Olivia Laing, The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone
