Once You See It… Arundhati Roy

"The trouble is that once you see it, you can't unsee it. And once you've seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There's no such thing as an innocent bystander."

— Arundhati Roy, Writer and New York Times Bestselling Author
