Davy Davy said: " Yeah, ok, this one is better. There's less cliché and more depth. We get our first taste of Rowling in metaphor-mode. The good guys are for inclusion and diversity, and the bad guys are basically nationalist fascists. Sounds discouragingly familiar. ...more "

Rebecca West
“I realized that if I had said to them, "You had that young man turned out of the carriage because he had a second-class ticket," they would have nodded and said, "Yes," and if I had gone on and said, "But you yourselves have only second-class tickets," they would not have seen that the second statement had any bearing on the first; and I cannot picture to myself the mental life of people who cannot perceive that connexion.”
Rebecca West, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon

George Saunders
“American society is uncomfortable with the idea that some people’s lives are difficult past the point of sanity and that they aren’t necessarily to blame. There’s no way you can argue that everyone has a difficult life. This is an incredible culture; the majority of people live in amazing comfort, with real dignity, maybe more comfort and dignity than any other culture in the history of the world. We live relatively safe and sane lives, which, if you’ve ever loved anybody and therefore feared for them, is a wonderful thing. But part of our moral responsibility is to keep in our minds those whose lives are unsafe and insane. In this way, fiction can be like a meditation, a way of saying: Though things are this way for me right now, they could be different later and are different for others this very moment.”
George Saunders

Rebecca West
“Capitalism has grooved society with a number of deep slots along which human beings can roll to a fixed destination. When a man takes charge of a factory the factory takes charge of him.”
Rebecca West, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon

Walker Percy
“But if there's nothing wrong with me, he thought, then there is something wrong with the world. And if there is nothing wrong with the world, then I have wasted my life and that is the worst mistake of all.”
Walker Percy, The Last Gentleman

“I am less interested in ghosts than in people who see ghosts.”
