Book cover for Lone Fox Dancing: My Autobiography
Strange, how the human race can elevate the vilest of men to positions of all-powerful tyranny and then take an equal pleasure in dragging them down into the dust. Even good men can be destroyed if they excite the envy of their fellows.

Ruskin Bond
“belonged to the hot sunshine and muddy canals, the banyan trees and the mango groves, the smell of wet earth after summer rain, the relief of a monsoon thunderstorm, the laughing brown faces. And the intimacy of human contact—that was what I had missed the most in England. The orderly life, the good sense and civility were all admirable, but they did nothing for the soul. I missed the freedom to touch someone without being misunderstood; the freedom to hold someone’s hand as a mark of affection rather than desire, but also to show desire without reserve and find fulfilment. I missed being among strangers without feeling like an outsider; I missed everything that made it all right to be sentimental and emotional.”
Ruskin Bond, Lone Fox Dancing: My Autobiography

Ruskin Bond
“She was always singing to herself, or to the sheep, or to the grass, showing me how much I still needed to learn about contentment. What’s all the running around for, she seemed to say. Sit down, stop chasing, and the words will come, and maybe love, too.”
Ruskin Bond, Lone Fox Dancing: My Autobiography

B.R. Ambedkar
“These will suffice to show that the emancipation of the mind and the soul is a necessary preliminary for the political expansion of the people.”
B.R. Ambedkar, Annihilation Of Caste

Ruskin Bond
“suppose most writers, to a greater or lesser extent, base their fictional characters upon real people. Mine come very close to the reality. It is my own response to them that varies. The most fictional of all my characters is myself.”
Ruskin Bond, Lone Fox Dancing: My Autobiography

Ruskin Bond
“Sometimes it is good to fail; to lose what you most desire; to come second. And the future is too unpredictable for anxiety.”
Ruskin Bond, Lone Fox Dancing: My Autobiography
