"…He wouldn't say that this movement or this philosophy makes him comfortable, I think it arouses a sense of shame within him often, I think it does something to touch the conscience and establish a sense of guilt. Now, so often people respond to guilt by engaging more in guilt evoking acts in an attempt to drown the sense of guilt. But it certainly doesn’t make the white man feel comfortable; it disturbs his conscience and it disturbs his sense of contentment."
"To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places...To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away and never, never, to forget." ~ Arundhati Roy
