“Your word is not above the law

If your word of honour is in conflict with the law, then you must break your word and take dishonour upon your name, said Vasishta. That is dharma”
― Amish Tripathi, Scion of Ikshvaku

“The Asuras are not bad people; they just have an understanding of dharma that is not valid for today's world. Sometimes the followers are good but the leaders let them down”
― Amish Tripathi, Scion of Ikshvaku

“Emperor Bharat's empire could be described as the apogee of the feminine way of life - of freedom, passion, beauty. At its best, it is compassionate, creative and especially nurturing towards the weak. But as feminine civilisations decline, they tend to become corrupt, irresponsible and decadent.
The masculine way of life is defined by truth, duty and honour. At its peak, masculine civilisations are efficient, just and egalitarian. But as they decline, they become fanatical, rigid and especially harsh towards the weak.”
― Amish Tripathi, Scion of Ikshvaku

“The law cannot be broken. It is supreme, more important than you or me.”
― Amish Tripathi, Scion of Ikshvaku
