The Book Review asked writers, critics and editors. Their answers may surprise you.
James Baldwin (1924 - 1987)
"The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions which have been hidden by the answers."
"Trying to live with a civil heart. With disinterested charity. With a sense of the mystic potency of humankind. With an inclination to believe in archetypes of goodness. A desire for virtue was no accident."
Noam
Chomsky
"The most effective way to restrict
democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and
princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations."
ISBN: 0520245989 Norman G. Finkelstein (born 1953) is a Jewish American known for advocating controversial positions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and for criticizing the way
the Holocaust is handled by most parties and organizations. Portland Jewish Resource Jewish Virtual Library
our planet is the mental institution of the universe." Johan Wolfgang von Goethe
a duty to those who died. They are not
here to speak: we must speak for them... It is important to combat the monthly propaganda of lies which could lead to another war of
Nazism in Europe and even in America. Another Holocaust. And just as doubters sneer in indifference, the indifference of civilized
countries before the war, during the war, and now. ....It could have happened anywhere.
It still can happen anywhere if the conditions are right. "Old Victorian houses, art galleries, shops, jazz clubs, and the inescapable and glorious coffeehouses of the era. With art show and clouds of sweet smoke in the upstairs, and folk, blues, conversation, and social experimentation...." tmf
Thomas Jefferson
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” Thomas Jefferson
Franz Kafka
(1883-1924) Kafka is perhaps the most influential of 20th-century writers.
Birthplace Prague, Czech Republic
When Americans start pulling people's fingernails out with pliers and poking lighted cigarettes into their palms, then we need to come back to basic values.
"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't
stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
(1925-1964)
Poetry "It is the human soul entire, squeezed like a lemon or a lime, drop by drop into atomic words." Langston Hughes

Books on the Bush Administration "In recent months a floodlet of books has been published about President Bush, his administration and the war in Iraq. They range widely in perspective," wrote Michiko Kakutani this week. "Yet taken together with earlier volumes, these books create a cumulative and, in many respects, surprisingly coherent portrait of the Bush White House and its management style."
Publisher Comments
Glenn Greenwald was not a political man. Not liberal, not conservative. Politicians were all the same and it didn't matter which party was in power. Extremists on both ends canceled each other out, and the United States would essentially remain forever... (read more)
