“What did religion do to people, to provoke such obstinancy, such hysteria - how did it push people to the stage of torturing themselves and killing each other? ”
Manil Suri, The Death of Vishnu

“In mathematics, in place of characters, you have variables or unknowns. If I'm trying to plot a theorem, I try to imagine these variables interacting with each other. The boundary of their interaction is the theorem.”
Manil Suri

“Endings need to be lived, they cannot be ordained.”
Manil Suri, The City of Devi
