Michela Wrong
“No other African autocrat had proved such a wily survivor. No other president had been presented with a country of such potential, yet achieved so little. No other leader had plundered his economy so effectively or lived the high life to such excess.”
Michela Wrong, In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz: Living on the Brink of Disaster in Mobutu's Congo

Todd McGowan
“In valuing the image over the word, we fall victim to the image’s appearance of full revelation. Whereas the word prompts suspicion and questioning, the image produces belief and devotion. It is in this sense that Gilroy sees a latent fascism in the contemporary elevation of the image. The image today signifies the possibility of a completely successful process of manipulation.”
Todd McGowan, The End of Dissatisfaction: Jacques Lacan and the Emerging Society of Enjoyment

Willem Frederik Hermans
“Socialisten zijn mensen met gewetensbezwaren over het geld dat andere mensen verdienen. Zodra ze zelf wat verdienen: niet alleen geen gewetensbezwaren, maar ook nog niet eens tevreden.”
Willem Frederik Hermans, Boze brieven van Bijkaart

Willem Frederik Hermans
“Waarom huilen? Beter nooit huilen. Er is maar één keus: het loodje leggen of volhouden. Als je eenmaal hebt besloten vol te houden, huil dan niet. Nooit opgeven, nooit en nooit en nooit. Het is trouwens de vraag of je dit kan beslissen. Waarschijnlijk is het leven een brok lijm, waarin je bijt en waaruit je je tanden nooit meer los kan trekken.”
Willem Frederik Hermans, In de mist van het schimmenrijk: Fragmenten uit het oorlogsdagboek van de student Karel R.

Nigel Biggar
“The problem of Palestine is exactly the same … as the problem of Ireland, namely, two peoples living in a small country hating each other like hell’,”
Nigel Biggar, Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning
