First East Turkestan Republic - Literature

Literature

Political graffiti painted by Uighurs on Khotan's city gates.

Revolution is an edifice built of many bricks
Each brick is an injustice
Blood is Mortar
Each wall is a mountain of sorrow
The foundation is most important
Alone, it must sustain the structure
Martyrdom is the Excellent Foundation!

    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “In literature as in ethics, there is danger, as well as glory, in being subtle. Aristocracy isolates us.”
