Mohsin Hamid Zitate

The simple fact of being a human being is you migrate. Many of us move from one place to the other. But even those who don't move, and you stay in the same city, if you were born in Manhattan 70 years ago, you're born in Des Moines 70 years ago, you've lived in the same place for 70 years, the city you live in today is unrecognizable.

Die einfache Tatsache, ein Mensch zu sein, ist die Migration. Viele von uns ziehen von einem Ort zum anderen. Aber auch diejenigen, die sich nicht bewegen, und Sie bleiben in derselben Stadt. Wenn Sie vor 70 Jahren in Manhattan geboren wurden, sind Sie vor 70 Jahren in Des Moines geboren. Sie leben seit 70 Jahren am selben Ort. Die Stadt, in der Sie heute leben, ist nicht wiederzuerkennen.

We've found that patterns of site looting have increased between 500 and 1000 percent since the start of the Arab Spring. Now this is a problem as old as human beings. People were looting tombs 5,000 years ago in Egypt as soon as people were buried, but the problem is only getting worse and worse.

It's very important for us to see that science is done by people, not just brains but whole human beings, and sometimes at great cost.

All this misjudgment that we have of each other is based on ignorance. The second you get to travel, you see that human beings, no matter where they come from, they are the same.

Everything is so much more stacked than it was even five or 10 years ago. There are so many more good players, so many solid players. The level doesn't really drop from around 100-500. It's really tough to make it, but I just have to work as hard as possible.
