Abhijit Naskar
“My spirituality has to do with equality, ethics and accountability, not aura, incense and vibration.”
Abhijit Naskar, Nazmahal: Palace of Grace

Richard  Adams
“Sheep used to have wings. One flew into the sky and all the others followed. They took their wings off while feeding in the warm sun but the wind blew away their wings so they couldn't fly anymore. They had to return to earth by drifting to where the sky curves down and touches the land, and then walk round the long way.. i like that..”
Richard Adams, The Plague Dogs
