Quotes by Mahesh Dattani (?)

“Those who survive are those who do not defy the gravity of others. And those who desire even a moment of freedom, find themselves hurled into space, doomed to crash with some unknown force. I no longer desire that freedom. I move, just move. Without meaning.”
― Mahesh Dattani, Tara: A play in two acts

“RAMNIK. Nobody is asking you to pray all day. ARUNA. Who do you think is protecting this house? RAMNIK. Who do you think is creating all this trouble? (Exits.)”
