• Conocía bien el círculo literario de Calcuta desde los 17 años, cuando vivía en Bangladesh y publicaba y dirigía una pequeña revista llamada "Sejuti", para la que escribían jóvenes poetas de ambas Bengalíes. Si nos fijamos en mi vida, no se trata de haber utilizado a nadie para nada. Sólo me han prohibido, puesto en la lista negra y desterrado.

• Los habitantes de países de baja altitud como Bangladesh, con casi 140 millones de personas que se las arreglan para alimentarse, cuyas emisiones de carbono no pueden calcularse realmente (son un error de redondeo en los intentos de la ONU de hacer comparaciones nacionales) y, sin embargo, la mayoría de cuya población corre el riesgo de sufrir inundaciones debido a la subida del nivel del mar.

• The standardization and specialization of industrialization was being undermined by globalization. When people in Bangladesh could produce things much more cheaply than anybody could produce them in Detroit, we no longer were the world capital of industrialization.

• I think in theory, the United States finds it much easier to deal with situations where there is a leading country. You can go to the leaders of that country and say, for example, to India, "There are all these problems in Bangladesh, we really have to do something about it, what do you suggest we can do to work out a common policy?" But when you don't have the equivalent of India, you have to go capital to capital trying to put together a coalition, which is extraordinarily difficult, especially in the Arab world, because of the historic rivalries and branches of Islam.

• Depending on how quickly you get ocean rise, you have people who live in river deltas [at risk]. Bangladesh is largely a river delta, and the rising sea level means that when storms come in, the human sanitation is backing up, the ability to farm, it's destructive-type situations like you saw in New Orleans with Katrina. You're increasing the frequency of that stuff in low-lying areas fairly dramatically.

• As to the latter point - that by having a child in America you are somehow starving a child in Bangladesh - remember that agricultural economics is not a zero-sum game. Farmers want to make a living, so as demand increases, so does production. Not only that, but agricultural productivity has increased so rapidly that in some countries the government pays farmers not to plant crops in an effort to keep food prices from dropping.

• Si eres prostituta, éste es tu día: Sales de fiesta, tienes clientes hasta las cuatro o las seis de la mañana y luego duermes. Te levantas a mediodía, ves telenovelas en la tele, te tomas dos o tres horas para arreglarte y luego empiezas a esperar a los clientes. Esa es tu vida. Y algunos días no vienen clientes. No hay fiesta. No hay nada. Te sientas y esperas. Si tienes estudios puedes leer libros, pero en Bangladesh y en la mayoría de los sitios ves la tele o escuchas música o cocinas.
