Karbala

·        Sentimentalities about history seem to mark the horizon of our historical imagination.  

History

·        Fictionalization of history is not possible without sentimentalities, marking the horizon of writer’s historical understanding. 

·        True history is difficult to find as historians do not tell truth rather ‘what ought to be truth’.    

Literature

·         Literature should not be welcomed only because of an element what is happening as it relegates it to journalism. Past, present and future converge in literature.

Quote

·       We hate to have the discomfort of thought because we love to have the comfort of opinion.
