Vairamuthu was born to Ramaswamythevar and Angammal of Mettur in a middle-class family. When he was four, the village gave way to Vaigai Dam and the family moved to Vadugapatti village, a farming community in Theni near Periyakulam.

Quotes by Vairamuthu (?)

“இன்னும் சற்று நேரத்தில் மின்சாரத் தீயில் அழியப்போகிறது எனக்கு உயிர் தந்த உடல். நேற்றுவரை அப்பா ஓர் உயிர்; இன்று உடல். நாளை வெறும் சொல். கடைசியில் எல்லா மனிதர்களும் வெறும் சொல்லாகித்தான் போகிறார்கள். அந்தச் சொல்லை உச்சரித்துக்கொண்டேயிருக்கும் கடைசி மனிதனோடு இரண்டாம் மரணம் அடைகிறார்கள்; அவ்வளவுதான்.”
― Vairamuthu, Vairamuthu Sirukathaigal

“அவமானம் நேரலாம். ஓர் அவமானமோ காயமோ வெற்றிடமோதான் லட்சியத்திற்கு கருவறையாக முடியும். உடல், மானம் இரண்டையும் தியாகம் செய்ய முடியாதவன் நன்மை செய்ய முடியாது.”

“இந்தியாவில் பிடித்தது?"

"உழைப்பு."

"பிடிக்காதது?"

"ஊழல்."

"ஆனாலும் இந்தியா முன்னேறியிருக்கிறதே..!"

"உண்மை. சேவல் உறங்கும்போது குஞ்சு பொரித்துவிடும் கோழியைப்போல சில அரசியல்வாதிகள் உறங்கும் போது இந்தியா முன்னேறிவிடுகிறது.”
