Quotes by Meghna Pant  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I festered with this duality of love and ego, where ego scorns the very love its seeking and then despairs in its absence.”
Meghna Pant

“Death did this to people: making cowards, scapegoats, preachers and mourners of the living; while the dead – ignoble or not – became objects of respect for achieving something before the rest of us.”
Meghna Pant

“Death has become so predictable that I have neither the youthful reverence of it nor the middle-age fear.”
Meghna Pant, Happy Birthday!

“All marriages were a consequence of security, tradition, money and beauty. Love was a chance, a lucky coincidence. Its existence was an after-thought, for more serious matters cemented marriage.”
Meghna Pant, One and a Half Wife

“In Indian society every institution – prayer, education, family, beauty, chastity and career – was a rung of the ladder of life, which had to be climbed to reach the top rung, marriage.”
Meghna Pant, One and a Half Wife

“I festered with this duality of love and ego, where ego scorns the very love its seeking and then despairs in its absence.”
Meghna Pant

“Death has become so predictable that I have neither the youthful reverence of it nor the middle-age fear.”
Meghna Pant, Happy Birthday!

“Of all the roles she’d played – daughter, student, employee, sister and wife – wife was the smallest and in proportion the most difficult, as though it had run out of steam with its own scale. The word ‘wife’ was too small to accommodate its responsibility.”
Meghna Pant, One and a Half Wife
