I like to listen. I'm much more interested in listening than in speaking, for sure.

A man was the sum of his limits; freedom only made him see how much so.

It's human to hear stories and to know how people live and to imagine how that is for them. It's very interdependent!

I think that there is a bias in the current literary climate, which is not only very Western but very male.

A white person was by definition somebody. Other people needed, across their hearts, one steel rib.

That there should be a purpose to suffering, that a person should be chosen for it, special - these are houses of the mind, in which whole peoples have found shelter.

I hate to generalize because there are always so many exceptions to any rule.
