- Open up our brown skulls and look inside with a penlight. You’ll find all these ideas, half-formed, half-correct, all buggering one another, and that is what we live and act on.
- What a miserable life, having to hide his religion and name just to get a job as a servant.
- Democracy, something that you yellow-skinned men, despite your triumphs in sewage, drinking water, and Olympic gold medals, still don’t have.
- If I were in charge of India, I’d get the sewage pipes first, then the democracy
- The world’s biggest democracy. Fucking joke!
- A good servant must know his masters from end to end, from lips to anus.
