Munshi Premchand
“हम जिनके लिए त्याग करते हैं उनसे किसी बदले की आशा न रखकर भी उनके मन पर शासन करना चाहते हैं, चाहे वह शासन उन्हीं के हित के लिए हो, यद्यपि उस हित को हम इतना अपना लेते हैं कि वह उनका न होकर हमारा हो जाता है। त्याग की मात्रा जितनी ही ज़्यादा होती है, यह शासन-भावना भी उतनी ही प्रबल होती है और जब सहसा हमें विद्रोह का सामना करना पड़ता है, तो हम क्षुब्ध हो उठते हैं, और वह त्याग जैसे प्रतिहिंसा का रूप ले लेता है।”
Munshi Premchand, गोदान [Godan]

Richard H. Thaler
“If you want to encourage someone to do something, make it easy.”
Richard Thaler

Neil Gaiman
“Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.”
Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol. 6: Fables & Reflections

William Dalrymple
“India has always had a strange way with her conquerors. In defeat, she beckons them in, then slowly seduces, assimilates and transforms them.”
William Dalrymple, White Mughals: Love and Betrayal in Eighteenth-Century India

Richard Howard
“Time reveals all translation to be paraphrase, and it is in the longing for a standard version of a "beloved" work that we must being again, we translators—that we must overtake one another”
