I do what I do, and write what I write, without calculating what is worth what and so on. Fortunately, I am not a banker or an accountant. I feel that there is a time when a political statement needs to be made and I make it.

  • -- Arundhati Roy 阿兰达蒂·洛伊

我做我所做的,写我所写的,没有计算什么是值得什么,等等。幸运的是,我既不是银行家也不是会计。我觉得有一段时间需要发表一份政治声明,而我做到了。
