“Literature is a weapon against injustice.”
What this quote means
Literature is far more than entertainment; it wields a subversive power. By giving voice to the voiceless and exposing societal wrongs, it awakens consciences and spurs action. Words can cross borders and touch hearts, planting seeds of change. In a world where complicit silence is common, both writing and reading become acts of resistance—tools to fight ignorance and oppression.
