Italo Calvino
“Yes, the empire is sick, and, what is worse, it is trying to become accustomed to its sores. This is the aim of my explorations: examining the traces of happiness still to be glimpsed, I gauge its short supply. If you want to know how much darkness there is around you, you must sharpen your eyes, peering at the faint lights in the distance.”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

“Why South Asian actors could be funny or nerdy but never sexy, yet South Asian actresses had to be.”
Aasif Mandvi, No Land's Man

Mohsin Hamid
“Our civilizations do not cause us to clash. No, our clashing allows us to pretend we belong to civilizations.”
Mohsin Hamid, Discontent and Its Civilizations

Italo Calvino
“The city, however, does not tell its past, but contains it like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets, the gratings of the windows, the banisters of the steps, the antennae of the lightning roads, the poles of the flags, every segment marked in turn with scratches, indetations, scrolls.”
Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities

Mohsin Hamid
“The blast wave that passed through my sister’s office doubtless passed through devout Muslims, atheist Muslims, gay Muslims, funny Muslims, and lovestruck Muslims—not to mention Pakistani Christians, Chinese engineers, American security contractors, and Indian Sikhs. What civilization, then, did the bomb target? And from what civilization did it originate?”
Mohsin Hamid, Discontent and Its Civilizations
