More From Arundhati Roy

Being a victim doesn't take much. there are built-in excuses for failure. built-in excuses for being miserable. built-in excuses for being angry all the time. no reason to trying to be happy; it's not possible. you're a victim. victim of what? well, you're a victim of derision. well, you're a victim of america. you're a victim of america's past, or you're a victim of religion. you're a victim of bigotry, of homophobia, whatever. you're a victim of something. the democrats got one for you. if you want to be a victim, call 'em up.

Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. darkness is in reality the absence of light. light we can study, but not darkness. in fact we can use newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. you cannot measure darkness. a simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. how can you know how dark a certain space is? you measure the amount of light present. isn't this correct? darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present.
Dark Simple Reality
The press is so powerful in its image-making role, it can make the criminal look like he's a the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. this is the press, an irresponsible press. it will make the criminal look like he's the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. if you aren't careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
Powerful Hate Media Control
When you're a victim, you automatically have a built-in excuse for failure. when you are a victim, it's always somebody else's fault. when you're a victim, success is not possible. when you are a victim of something, you are acknowledging that you are as far as you're gonna get, and you can't get any further, because there are more powerful forces arrayed against you than the force of yourself against it.

People have amazing ideas. the main problem - i won't call it a problem, let's call it a roadblock - is if you use the analogy of a convoy of vehicles going to help a distress situation: they have all the resources needed (food, medicine, everything they need), and as the convoy is traveling, there's a rockslide. you can't get through the road. what good does any of that stuff do when you can't get it to where it needs to go?

I have lived alone, i have fought alone, i have dealt with the pain alone. i will die alone. i think when i'm going to leave. i don’t want to be seen and i don’t want to be followed , i want to disappear quickly and quietly and without any drama , i want as much time in the darkness as i can possibly have . the darkness provides cover, the darkness provides places to hide and the darkness provides comfort.

Sanity brings pain but madness is a vile thing.

Subjecting prisoners to abuse leads to bad intelligence, because under torture a detainee will tell his interrogator anything to make the pain stop. second, mistreatment of our prisoners endangers u.s. troops who might be captured by the enemy – if not in this war, then in the next. and third, prisoner abuses exact on us a terrible toll in the war of ideas, because inevitably these abuses become public.
