Alasdair Gray
“I’m over five and half feet tall and weigh about ten stone. My eyes are brown, hair black, and I forget the blood group. I used to be older than twenty but now I’m older than thirty. I’ve been called a crustacean, and too serious, but recently I was described by a dependable man as shrewd, obstinate and adequately intelligent. I was a writer once and now I’m a doctor, but I was advised to become these, I never wanted it. I’ve never wanted anything long. Except freedom.” There was a metallic rattle of laughter. Lanark said, “Yes, it’s a comic word. We’re all forced to define it in ways that make no sense to other people. But for me freedom is …” He thought for a while. “… life in a city near the sea or near the mountains where the sun shines for an average of half the day.”
Alasdair Gray, Lanark: A Life in Four Books

Refaat Alareer
“a free Palestine where all people regardless of color, religion, or race coexist;”
Refaat Alareer, Gaza Writes Back: Short Stories from Young Writers in Gaza, Palestine

Refaat Alareer
“Al-Saifi believes that by destroying mosques, “the occupation was erasing the historical proof and evidence of our presence in Palestine.”
Refaat Alareer, Gaza Unsilenced

Alasdair Gray
“Are there no British natives?"
"In Wales, Ireland and Scotland perhaps. In England we still have a class of farmers, farm servants, estate workers et cetera, but the landowners and city dwellers regard them as useful animals, like horses and dogs.”
Alasdair Gray, Poor Things

Alasdair Gray
“And here I stay,' said Bella calmly, and as she spoke the lines of her figure and face relaxed into their proper softness, her hair began to settle, her eyes recovered their usual depth, size, and golden-brown warmth.”
Alasdair Gray, Poor Things
