“I could see no stars through the crude hot haze of the truculent night. It always to me, at night in Calcutta, that the day has suffered a humiliating defeat. The light has surrendered and publicly admitted its impotence.”
Lee A. Siegel, Net of Magic: Wonders and Deceptions in India

Peter Hunt Welch
“the whole process and state of alienation could be short-circuited by appealing to empathy, shared knowledge, and most people’s desire to talk about themselves.”
Peter Hunt Welch, And Then I Thought I Was a Fish

“{D]iversity, equity, and inclusion' represents a new mode of institutional governance. Diversity is the new system of racial standing, equity is the new method of power transfer, inclusion is the new method of enforcement. All of this could be presented to institutional leadership in a language that appears to be soft, benign, tolerant, and open-minded — something that, combined with the threat of accusation, elite administrators were culturally incapable of resisting.”
Christopher F. Rufo, America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything

Tamsyn Muir
“She kept looking at Gideon with the screwed-up eyes of someone who had been handed an egg for safekeeping and was surrounded by egg-hunting snakes.”
Tamsyn Muir, Gideon the Ninth

“When Mohammad Shah spoke, his face usually took on the expression of someone who has just taken a bite out of a lemon. At other times, in his more mellow moments, it was the expression of someone who had just stepped in shit.”
Lee A. Siegel, Net of Magic: Wonders and Deceptions in India
