“Above all, the Governments of China and Eire, poor in their own resources, full of their own difficulties, yet having had bitter experience themselves of famine and misery and sensing what ailed the body and spirit of India, gave generous help.”

“If you assume that there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then there is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world.”

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On!' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

“I don't know if I've come of age, but I'm certainly older now. I feel shrunken, as if there's a tiny ancient Oliver Tate inside me operating the levers of a life-size Oliver-shaped shell. A shell on which a decrepit picture show replays the same handful of images. Every night I come to the same place and wait till the sky catches up with my mood. The pattern is set. This is, no doubt, the end.”

“चलते-चलते गवर्नर साहब बड़े राय से बोले— “इनसे कहिए, आपकी मिसाल नज़रों के सामने रखें। दरख़्त जब तक रहता है तभी तक उसका साया मिलता है—अपनी वज़हदारी से जो साया बनता है वह हमेशा साथ देता है...” धीरे-से कहते हुए निकल गये “ईमानदारी और वज़हदारी आदमी के लिए ज़रूरी चीज़ें हैं।” मझले राय सन्न रह गये थे। और किसी ने सुना हो या न सुना हो लेकिन उन्होंने सुन लिया था। बड़े राय उसी जगह स्थिर खड़े थे। जब तक गवर्नर साहब चले नहीं गये, वे उसी तरह बेंत-से टिके खड़े रहे।”
