Book cover for Portrait of a Thief
“What is art but another way of exerting power? It was inevitable.”

Timothy Egan
“In that spring of 1925, a posse of hooded Klansmen on horseback rode up to the house of Earl Little in Omaha, Nebraska. He was a Baptist preacher who led the local chapter of Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association...They smashed every window in the house before galloping off into the night. A few days later, the preacher's wife gave birth to a son -- the boy who would become Malcolm X.”
Timothy Egan, A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them

“Since East Turkestan is home to large deposits of oil and natural gas, as well as mineral deposits and vast cotton fields that all add to the [Chinese Communist Party's} coffers, the stakes of a potential independence movement in the Uyghur region were high.”
Gulchehra Hoja, A Stone is Most Precious Where it Belongs

Derek B. Miller
“Fear is the enemy of art because it hinders us from creation. Anyone who uses fear to stop an artist from creating is an enemy of life.”

“Negative capability…quoting Keats: “Discard your memory,” he implored. “Discard the future tense of your desire; forget…both what you knew and what you want, to leave space for a new idea.”
Matt Haig, The Comfort Book
