“
- Edward Said (August 2000)
Saying, we need a home. And we’ll do anything to get a home, even if it means making others homeless… I want a rich fabric of some sort, which no one can fully comprehend, and no one can fully own. I never understood the idea of this is my place, and you are out. I do not appreciate going back to the origin, to the pure. I believe the major political and intellectual disasters were caused by reductive movements that tried to simplify and purify.
I don’t believe in all that. I wouldn’t want it for myself.
