“Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armour yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.”

“In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!”

“ഒരു നല്ല മുസ്ലീമും ഒരു നല്ല കമ്യൂണിസ്റ്റുകാരനും നല്ല ഹിന്ദുവുമൊക്കെയാകുന്നതില് ഒരു തിന്മയുണ്ട് കാലത്തിനോടെന്ന പോലെ സ്വന്തത്തോടും അയാള് നീതി ചെയ്യുന്നില്ല എന്നതാണത്. താന് ജീവിക്കുന്ന കാലത്തിനോടാണ് ഒരുവന്റെ ആദ്യത്തെ പ്രതിബദ്ധത. എല്ലാ മതത്തിലേയും മൌലികവാദികള്ക്ക് പ്രതിബദ്ധത വേറൊരു കാലത്തിനോടാണ്. വേറൊരു കാലത്തുണ്ടായിട്ടുള്ള തത്വശാസ്ത്രത്തിനോടോ ഗ്രന്ഥങ്ങളോടോ ആണ്.”
