Ramachandra Guha
“In India, the sapling was planted by the nation’s founders, who lived long enough (and worked hard enough) to nurture it to adulthood. Those who came afterwards could disturb and degrade the tree of democracy but, try as they might, could not uproot or destroy it.”
Ramachandra Guha, India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy

Andre Dubus III
“The truth is life is full of joy and full of great sorrow, but you can't have one without the other.”
Andre Dubus III, House of Sand and Fog

Ramachandra Guha
“So long as the Constitution is not amended beyond recognition, so long as elections are held regularly and fairly and the ethos of secularism broadly prevails, so long as citizens can speak and write in the language of their choosing, so long as there is an integrated market and a moderately efficient civil service and army, and — lest I forget — so long as Hindi films are watched and their songs sung, India will survive”
Ramachandra Guha, India After Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy

Jhumpa Lahiri
“That's the thing about books. They let you travel without moving your feet.”
Jhumpa Lahiri, The Namesake

“The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem”
Captain Jack Sparrow
