“Part of the main plan of imperialism... is that we will give you your history, we will write it for you, we will re-order the past...What's more truly frightening is the defacement, the mutilation, and ultimately the eradication of history in order to create... an order that is favorable to the United States.” GivingWritingStatesPastOrderUnitedUnited StatesPlansTyrannyTyrantsFrighteningImperialismMutilation Author:Edward Said

“I've always felt that my relationship to the United States is analogous to a marriage. I love this country. I hate it. I get angry at it. I feel close to it. I'm charmed by it. I'm repelled by it. And it's a marriage that's gone on for let's say at least 50 years of my writing life, and in the course of that, what's happened? It's gotten worse. It's not what it used to be.” FeelsWritingYearsCountryStatesAmericaUsedHateCoursesFeltUnitedUnited StatesGoneHappenedI HateAngryUsed To BeWriting LifeCharmed Author:Norman Mailer
