„É assim que minha imaginação compõe agora a cena. Se demoro nessa descrição, é porque escrevo em circunstâncias diversas! Trabalho numa mesa rústica, estreita, adquirida com certa dificuldade, por não fazer parte do mobiliário padrão do hotel. O quarto fica no anexo do prédio. A janela é de alumínio, de tamanho e forma padronizados; a porta lisa, também padronizada quanto ao tamanho e a forma, é feita de um material tão leve que já está empenada e, a menos que se passe o trinco, fica o tempo todo abrindo e fechando lentamente. O rodapé encolheu, como todo o madeiramento. Nada aqui foi feito com amor, nem sequer com habilidade; conseqüentemente, não há nada que dê prazer à vista.“

Trinidadian-British writer of Indo-Nepalese ancestry 1932

„He read political books. They gave him phrases which he could only speak to himself and use on Shama. They also revealed one region after another of misery and injustice and left him feeling more helpless and more isolated than ever. Then it was that he discovered the solace of Dickens. Without difficulty he transferred characters and settings to people and places he knew. In the grotesques of Dickens everything he feared and suffered from was ridiculed and diminished, so that his own anger, his own contempt became unnecessary, and he was given strength to bear the most difficult part of his day: dressing in the morning, that daily affirmation of faith in oneself, which at times for him was almost like an act of sacrifice.“A House for Mr Biswas

„Look, boys, it ever strike you that the world not real at all? It ever strike you that we have the only mind in the world and you just thinking up everything else? Like me here, having the only mind in the world, and thinking up you people here, thinking up the war and all the houses and the ships and them in the harbour. That ever cross your mind?“Miguel Street

V.S. Naipaul145

Trinidadian-British writer of Indo-Nepalese ancestry 1932

„Going home at night! It wasn't often that I was on the river at night. I never liked it. I never felt in control. In the darkness of river and forest you could be sure only of what you could see — and even on a moonlight night you couldn't see much. When you made a noise — dipped a paddle in the water — you heard yourself as though you were another person. The river and the forest were like presences, and much more powerful than you. You felt unprotected, an intruder... You felt the land taking you back to something that was familiar, something you had known at some time but had forgotten or ignored, but which was always there. You felt the land taking you back to what was there a hundred years ago, to what had been there always.“A Bend in the River
