    “If the Christ were content with humble toilers for disciples, that wasn’t good enough for our Bert. He wanted dukes’ half sisters and belted earls wiping his feet with their hair; grand apotheosis of the snob, to humiliate the objects of his own awe by making them venerate him.”
    —Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    “Every seventh year you shall grant a remission of debts.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 15:1.

    “There is an incompatibility between literary creation and political activity.”
    —Mario Vargas Llosa (b. 1936)
