“I was never afraid of the dark, and till today I see the night as a friend, giving me the privacy that I find so hard to find by day. Starlight, moonlight, early dawn, all have a special loveliness about them.”
― Ruskin Bond, Lone Fox Dancing: My Autobiography

“I decided that one day I would have to break journey there, spend a day in the town, make inquiries, and find the girl who had stolen my heart with nothing but a look from her dark, impatient eyes.”

“The European languages have their strengths, but for the purposes of cursing out loud you can’t beat some of the Indian languages for range and originality.”

“As I walked home last night
I saw a lone fox dancing
In the cold moonlight.

I stood and watched. Then
Took the low road, knowing
The night was his by right.

Sometimes, when words ring true,
I'm like a lone fox dancing
In the morning dew.”
― Ruskin Bond, A Book of Simple Living
