“The Western Academy produces formal grammars—rules of thought…[that] form the discursive ordering force for the structure in dominance, and ultimately the constituent ideologies of ‘nation’ (culture, race, and so forth) within the bordering state.”

Through their predictive capacities, grammars control epistemological possibilities—they police knowledge. They are integral to the functions of the state.”

 I research and write in separate stages. I read widely and takes tons and tons of notes, and then I begin writing. I rarely consult the notes, but simply begin writing.

Raisin bread is all right, but plain bread is better.” He opens two bottles of beer and continues: “I tried to make a real old man, a real boy, a real sea and a real fish and real sharks. But if I made them good and true enough they would mean many things. The hardest thing is to make something really true and sometimes truer than true.”

— Ernest Hemingway in the TIME article Books: An American Storyteller, talking about The Old Man and the Sea
