“Englezul e mare politician. Își vîră nasul peste tot. Toată lumea știe că, atunci când Anglia trage tabac pe-o nară, Franța strănută.”
Emil Iordache, Nikolai Gogol

“The exhibition of grotesqueness exhibits the wounded body openly to the world, to show it and sign it so that only its author can claim its authority.”
Hanan Jasim Khammas, Writing Through the Body: Iraqi Responses to the War on Terror
