Junot Díaz citáty a výroky

„Rushdie tvrdí, že tyrani a pisálci jsou přirozenými protivníky, ale takové rozdělení je podle mne příliš zjednodušující - to by z toho vyšli spisovatelé moc lacino. Já si myslím, že diktátoři prostě nesnesou konkurenci - stejně jako spisovatelé.“

Originál: (en) Rushdie claims that tyrants and scribblers are natural antagonists, but I think that’s too simple; it lets writers off pretty easy. Dictators, in my opinion, just know competition when they see it. Same with writers. Like, after all, recognizes like.
