"Homonationalism is not just about tolerance; it's about the selective inclusion of certain subjects into the national body while excluding others."

"We must ask: who gets to be grievable? Whose life is worthy of mourning?"

"The terrorist figure is constructed through biopolitical processes that mark certain bodies as killable."

"Affect is not just individual; it circulates through populations and shapes political possibilities."

"The pen is mightier than the sword."

"Literature opens the mind to new worlds"

"The interesting thing about books is that they're made of words."

"Literature captures the essence of what it means to be human."
