15.10.2007 - Interpretation of dali48

The fear of being left outside, and the fear of counting for nothing, and the feelings of worthlessness that come with such fears ... (Orhan Pamuk)
I believe literature to be the most valuable tool that humanity has found in its quest to understand itself ... - The burning of books and the denigration of writers are both signs that dark and improvident times are upon us! ... - Had not the house gun been around, as it is generally in white families, no murder would have happened ... - Why is there always someone who cannot afford to remember and others who are incapable of forgetting, however much they want to? - Outside the lovers`s chamber, there is a society, greedy, immoral where empathy and responsibility for others, whatever skin color, are rare! ... - An author risks both the state's condemnation as a traitor and the freedom movement's complaint that she or he fails to demonstrate blind loyality! ... (N. Gordimer)
