“The moral certainty about preventing another genocide imparts a moral justification to the pursuit of power with impunity.”
― Mahmood Mamdani, When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism, and the Genocide in Rwanda

“Only the victor had the potential of transcending an earlier opposition between the two, by defining both as survivors of the civil war. To transcend the terms of the earlier opposition is to forge a new community of survivors of the civil war.”
― Mahmood Mamdani, When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism, and the Genocide in Rwanda

“I am evolved as I freed myself from the expectations of others. These memories shape a nonlinear narrative, because queerness is intrinsically nonlinear, journeys that bend and wind. Two steps forward, one step back.”
― Elliot Page, Pageboy: A Memoir

“If it is the struggle for power that explains the motivation of those who crafted the genocide, then it is the combined fear of a return to servitude and of reprisals thereafter that energized the foot soldiers of the genocide. The irony is that--whether in the Church, in hospitals, or in human rights groups, as in fields and homes--the perpetrators of the genocide saw themselves as the true victims of an ongoing political drama, victims of yesterday who may yet be victims again. That moral certainly explains the easy transition from yesterday's victims to killers the morning after.”
― Mahmood Mamdani, When Victims Become Killers: Colonialism, Nativism, and the Genocide in Rwanda
