Castes Quotes - Page 6

• I think the single most important question is how do you maximize the number of children who grow up in stable two-parent households. We know in all kinds of ways it makes a huge difference to how kids come out and we are hardening into a caste society where some kids do better in all kinds of ways because they have two parents and others don't.

• As a criminal you have scarcely more rights, and arguably less respect, than a black man living in Alabama at the height of Jim Crow. We have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it.

• New Orleans invented the brown paper bag party - usually at a gathering in a home - where anyone darker than the bag attached to the door was denied entrance. The brown bag criterion survives as a metaphor for how the black cultural elite quite literally establishes caste along color lines within black life.

• There is such a thing as caste, even in the West; but it is comparatively faint; it is conservatism here. It says, forsake not your calling, outrage no institution, use no violence, rend no bonds; the State is thy parent. Its virtue or manhood is wholly filial.

• ...heroine: the artist, the premier mistress writhering in a garden graced w/highly polished blades of grass... release (ethiopium) is the drug...an animal howl says it all...notes pour into the caste of freedom...the freedom to be intense...to defy social order and break the slow kill monotony of censorship. to break from the long bonds of servitude-ruthless adoration of the celestial shepherd. let us celebrate our own flesh-to embrace not ones race mais the marathon-to never let go of the fiery sadness called desire.

• I think that Indian writing in English is a really peculiar beast. I can't think of any literature - perhaps Russian literature in the nineteenth century comes close - so exclusively produced by and closely identified with a tiny but powerful ruling elite, the upper-caste, Anglophone upper middle class, and dependent for so long on book buyers and readers elsewhere.

• Como ciudadanos indios, subsistimos con una dieta regular de masacres de castas y pruebas nucleares, rupturas de mezquitas y desfiles de moda, quemas de iglesias y expansión de las redes de telefonía móvil, trabajo en régimen de servidumbre y revolución digital, infanticidio femenino y caída del NASDAQ, maridos que siguen quemando a sus mujeres por la dote y nuestra deliciosa reserva de Miss Mundos. Lo que resulta difícil de aceptar, tanto personal como políticamente, es su naturaleza esquizofrénica.

• Un artista debe ser humilde, un editor debe ser oficioso y un editor debe estar en algún lugar de la galaxia disfrutando de la divinidad. Era un sistema de castas, puro y simple. Y así se aceptaba. Nadie pensaba en contratos, nadie pensaba en insistir en mejores tratos.

• Esa es una de las mayores pérdidas, creo, para las familias afroamericanas, es que la gente, una vez que se fueron, se alejaron del Sur. No miraron atrás, y a menudo no se lo contaron a sus hijos. No querían hablar de ello. Era demasiado doloroso, por lo que habían pasado y por el sistema de castas del Sur, que era Jim Crow.

• Muchos inmigrantes no hablan de lo que sufrieron en su país. Huían de ese mundo y cuando se fueron no querían hablar de ello porque el sistema de castas del Sur les había causado dolor y angustia. No querían cargar a sus hijos con lo que ellos habían sufrido.

• El breve interregno de la sociedad civil construida sobre las ruinas de la Bastilla llegó a su fin con el establecimiento de los judíos como nueva casta sacerdotal. La Iglesia alternativa de nuestra sociedad, la judía, sobrevivió en suspenso durante cientos de años. Mientras la Iglesia cristiana se ocupó del discurso, los judíos evidentemente no tenían ninguna posibilidad de competir; pero cuando su poder fue quebrantado por los buscadores de la libertad, surgió el acuerdo alternativo.

• "Cynicism," like "heresy" and "heterodoxy" and "atheism" and "agnosticism" and "paganism" and "heathenism," is above all else a way for organized orthodoxy's caste of official censors to encyst and segregate and thus neutralize all contrarian forms of seeing and thinking, all (necessarily implicitly) prohibited and repressed ways of exercising disruptive and iconoclastic intuition and intellection (for to analyze and explain these things too openly is to give them publicity and potential cogency when the point is to asphyxiate them).

• The fall of Empire, gentlemen, is a massive thing, however, and not easily fought. It is dictated by a rising bureaucracy, a receding initiative, a freezing of caste, a damming of curiosity — a hundred other factors. It has been going on, as I have said, for centuries, and it is too majestic and massive a movement to stop.

• Se desarrolló un nuevo lenguaje de neutralidad racial para apelar a los viejos sentimientos racistas, un lenguaje acompañado de un movimiento político que consiguió poner a la gran mayoría de espaldas en su sitio. Los defensores de la jerarquía racial descubrieron que podían instalar un nuevo sistema de castas raciales sin violar la ley ni los nuevos límites del discurso político aceptable, exigiendo "ley y orden" en lugar de "segregación para siempre".

• To find Margo Roth Spiegelman, you must become Margo Roth Spiegelman. And I had done many of the things she might have done: I had engineered a most unlikely prom coupling. I had quieted the hounds of caste warfare. I had come to feel comfortable inside the rat-infested haunted house where she did her best thinking. I had seen. I had listened. But I could not yet become the wounded person.

• I flew into a small airport surrounded by cornfields and pastures, ready to carry out the two commands my father had written out for me the night before I left Calcutta: Spend two years studying creative writing at the Iowa Writers Workshop, then come back home and marry the bridegroom he selected for me from our caste and class.

• We recognize caste in dogs because we rank ourselves by the familiar dog system, a ladderlike social arrangement wherein one individual outranks all others, the next outranks all but the first, and so on down the hierarchy. But the cat system is more like a wheel, with a high-ranking cat at the hub and the others arranged around the rim, all reluctantly acknowledging the superiority of the despot but not necessarily measuring themselves against one another.

• If we claim heritage in Bacon, Shakespeare and Milton, we also acknowledge that it was for liberties guaranteed Englishmen by sacred charters our fathers triumphantly fought. While wisely rejecting throne and caste and privilege and an Established Church in their new-born state, they adopted the substance of English liberty and the body of English law.
