Simon Leys
“Whenever people wonder “What is the truth?” usually it is because the truth is just under their noses—but it would be very inconvenient to acknowledge it.”
Simon Leys, The Hall of Uselessness: Collected Essays

Homi K. Bhabha
“A statement on the political responsibility of the critic: the critic must attempt to fully realize, and take responsibility for, the unspoken, unrepresented pasts that haunt the historical present.”
Homi K. Bhabha, The Location of Culture

Julio Cortázar
“Of all our feelings the only one which really doesn't belong to us is hope. Hope belongs to life, it's life itself defending itself. Etcetera.”
Julio Cortázar, Hopscotch

“Evil?" Womble rarely used the word in his work. It was a storybook word. Neither right nor wrong. A word made up to fill a gap in how to talk about the world when it tilted on its side spilling out more blood and pain than people could stand.”
Phillip Arrington, The Serpent's Sage

“He didn't think people changed much—his people anyway. Their souls had been ripped apart trying to stop what could never be stopped, and they took a fierce pride in opening old wounds just to show they could endure them again.”
Phillip Arrington, The Serpent's Sage
