  1. “Reviews of inordinate savagery say more about the reviewer than the book being reviewed.”
    – Martin Amis, The Moronic Inferno (slightly paraphrased, no doubt, by me because I can’t remember the exact words!)

  2. Thanks Maha, speaks to the ability for change to have a voice that isn’t erased by those already positioned to speak. I’m not sure that courtesy is entirely required when standing for a deeply held value. But without a signature it certainly isn’t a dialog. We do sometimes have to allow voices that wish not to be named–how can we do that?
