"The Nimrod flip out is another brilliant story. Unfortunately, the next several fall off quality.

Fyi, I came across a story written by a Palestinian author. The title was “a short story writer who doesn’t follow army orders“. It was hilarious. The premise was that a Palestinian writer would drop Etgar Kerats name to get past Israeli check points. Alas, it didn’t work all the time."

Eduardo Galeano
“We are what we do, especially what we do to change what we are....In
this respect a "revolutionary" literature written for the convinced is just as
much an abandonment as is a conservative literature devoted to the . . .
contemplation of one's own navel.”
Eduardo Galeano, Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent

Neil Gaiman
“If you can't eat it, drink it, smoke it, or snort it... then f*ck it!”
Neil Gaiman, American Gods

“The drone that even according to the police indeed did fly over Seine-Saint-Denis last July 14th is a picture of the future in much more straightforward colors than all the hazy images we get from the humanists. That they took the time to clarify that it was not armed shows pretty clearly the kind of road we’re headed down.”
The Invisible Committee, The Coming Insurrection

“Thirty years of "crisis," mass unemployment, and flagging growth, and they still want us to believe in the economy. . . . We have to see that the economy is itself the crisis.”
The Invisible Committee, The Coming Insurrection

Albert Camus
“When one has no character, one HAS to apply a method. Here it did wonders incontrovertibly, and I am living on the site of one of the greatest crimes in human history.”
Albert Camus, The Fall
