Voice of the Day: Edward Said

Even if one is not an actual immigrant or expatriate, it is still possible to think as one, to imagine and investigate in spite of barriers, and always to move away from the centralizing authorities towards the margins, where you see things that are usually lost on minds that have never traveled beyond the conventional and comfortable.

- Edward Said
Palestinian-American literary scholar and activist (1935-2003)
