Making the City Of Joy gave me the best political education of my life. It became a wrestling match between an Englishman who had gradually ceased to be a Marxist, and a culture that was becoming more Marxist by the day.

Indian culture certainly gives the Indian mind, including the mind of the Indian scientist, the ability to think out of the box.

I cannot forget a conversation that I had with an elderly couple from the tribe. They asked me whether I would kill them after I had finished. When I asked them why they asked that, they replied, Because you white men always do!

Eventually, the tribe developed so much confidence in me that they invited me to be their chieftain.

I am a Marxist Leninist and I will be one until the last day of my life.

My mom saved my life. She gave me mouth-to-mouth more than once.
