I was leftwing, I am leftwing, and I will die leftwing.

Power, in a nutshell, is the ability to get things done, and politics is the ability to decide which things need to be done.

I was leftwing, I am leftwing, and I will die leftwing.

Our bad luck is that our writing is linear, while we think circularly.

Today's youth have been cast in a condition of liminal drift, with no way of knowing whether it is transitory or permanent.

Once we realize that the strangers are here forever and won't go away, then, like husband and wife in the old-style marriage, we would try to find a way of living together peacefully and with mutual benefit. The sooner we understand that in a globalized world the diasporic nature of cohabitation is never likely to end, that it will always be with us, I believe such modus vivendi will be found.

I did not and do not think of the solidity-liquidity conundrum as a dichotomy; I view those two conditions as a couple locked, inseparably, in a dialectical bond.
