—V.S. (Vidiadhar Surajprasad)
“The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.”

“If he roars at you as you’re dyin’
You’ll know it is the Asian Lion.”

“Compare ... the cinema with theatre. Both are dramatic arts. Theatre brings actors before a public and every night during the season they re-enact the same drama.

—John Berger (b. 1926)
