"Wow. Edward focuses on the origins of orientalism, and how the west views the “Oriental” as passive and unable to think for himself, or govern himself, justifying all the colonization occurrences in the last 3 centuries. Also it’s funny how the west just defines us textually but once our actions deviate from what they described then it’s Islam vs non Islam. Anyway,i can’t read books the same way ever again." — Jan 08, 2026 01:27PM

“I am not a perfectionist, but I like to feel that things are done well. More important than that, I feel an endless need to learn, to improve, to evolve, not only to please the coach and the fans, but also to feel satisfied with myself. It is my conviction that here are no limits to learning, and that it can never stop, no matter what our age.”

“And that's why books are never going to die. It's impossible. It's the only time we really go into the mind of a stranger, and we find our common humanity doing this. So the book doesn't only belong to the writer, it belongs to the reader as well, and then together you make it what it is.”
