“The sale of citizenship is interesting not because it is scandalous or even morally reprehensible, but because it speaks to the very arbitrariness of the concept of belonging to a nation to begin with.”
Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, The Cosmopolites: The Coming of the Global Citizen

Sally Rooney
“I think I only appear smart by staying quiet as often as possible.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Heidi Julavits
“Crushes thrive in small spaces. Humans must be programmed to respond positively when faced with a small sampling of other humans in, say, caves. You're stuck in a cave with three other people - all mankind, presumably, was hidden away in such tiny groups during the winters until the thaw - and so, in order for the species to thrive, you must be biologically compelled to fuck at least one person in your cave, despite the fact that, when surrounded by a plenitude of Neanderthals at the Neanderthal summer barbecue, none of them struck your fancy. Without the element of choice, and in conjunction with captivity, you find love, or at least you find lust.”
Heidi Julavits, The Folded Clock: A Diary

Sally Rooney
“You can love more than one person, she said. That's arguable. Why is it any different from having more than one friend? You're friends with me and you also have other friends, does that mean you don't really value me? I don't have other friends, I said.”
Sally Rooney, Conversations with Friends

Milan Vaishnav
“The failure of India's public institutions to keep pace with the dramatic political, economic and social transformations under way has led to severe gaps in governance. The end result of this disjuncture has been a proliferation of grand corruption - a malaise made up of a diverse array of regulatory, extractive, and political rent-seeking activities.”
Milan Vaishnav, When Crime Pays: Money and Muscle in Indian Politics
