Arundhati Roy

Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.

Sometimes I think the world is divided into those who have a comfortable relationship with power and those who have a naturally adversarial relationship with power.

If we were to lose the ability to be emotional, if we were to lose the ability to be angry, to be outraged, we would be robots. And I refuse that.

I love the character of Jaime Lannister. He's just so complex - a character that we love to hate - but it's a lot more complex than hatred. It starts off, and he seems so arrogant and so smug.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

What I find is most people have a civics book understanding for how Congress works and how a bill moves.
