Ben Fountain
“He decides he wants both more and less. He’d like to hang out with Beyonce in a nice way, get to know her by doing small pleasant things like going out for icecream, or how about this, a three-week trial run in some tropical paradise where they can hang together in that nice way and possibly fall in love, and meanwhile fuck each other’s brains out in their spare time. He wants both, he wants the entire body-soul connect because anything less is just demeaning. Has the war done this to him, he wonders, inspired by these deeper sensitivities and yearnings of his? Or is it just because he’s going on his twentieth year of life?”
Ben Fountain, Brief Encounters with Che Guevara: Stories

Christopher Hitchens
“Much of the attraction of the cult has to do with the grace of an early and romantic death. George Orwell once observed that if Napoleon Bonaparte had been cut down by a musket ball as he entered Moscow, he would have been remembered as the greatest general since Alexander. And not only did Guevara die before his ideals did, he died in such a manner as to inspire something akin to superstition. He rode among the poor of the altiplano on a donkey. He repeatedly foresaw and predicted the circumstances of his own death. He was spurned and betrayed by those he claimed to set free. He was by calling a healer of the sick. The photographs of his corpse, bearded and half-naked and lacerated, make an irresistible comparison with paintings of the deposition from Calvary. There is a mystery about his last resting place. Alleged relics are in circulation. There have even been sightings….”

Pramoedya Ananta Toer
“Kurang hati-hati sama juga tidak jujur.”
Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Gadis Pantai

Pramoedya Ananta Toer
“Di sana, di kampung nelayan tetesan deras keringat membuat orang tak sempat membuat kehormatan, bahkan tak sempat mendapatkan nasi dalam hidupnya terkecuali jagung tumbuk yang kuning. Betapa mahalnya kehormatan dan nasi.”
Pramoedya Ananta Toer, Gadis Pantai

Adrienne Rich
“If you are curious and open to the life around you, if you are disturbed as to how, by, and against whom wealth and political power is held and used, if you sense there must be good reasons for your unease, if your curiosity and openness drive you toward wanting to act with others, to "do something," you have much in common with the writers of the three essays in Manifesto.”
Adrienne Rich, A Human Eye: Essays on Art in Society, 1997-2008
