“The division in opinion on the use of the term (i.e - fascism) comes down to whether you believe that fascism became fascism only after a continent was destroyed and millions of people were exterminated in gas chambers, or whether you believe that fascism is an ideology that led to those high crimes - that can lead to those crimes - and that those who subscribe to it are fascists.”
― Arundhati Roy, Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction.

“At one point in time, I had thought that my writing was a product of my circumstances and the uncertainty around me. There was a human vulnerability in combat journalism, wherever I was reporting on the continuous war. But it also made me love the poetic beauty in words.”
― Naveed Qazi, The Trader of War Stories

“Hope lies in texts that can accommodate and keep alive our intricacy, our complexity, and our density against the onslaught of the terrifying, sweeping simplifications of fascism.”
― Arundhati Roy, Azadi: Freedom. Fascism. Fiction.
