Devdutt Pattanaik
“Through Karna, Vyasa reiterates that our knowledge of the world is imperfect based on perceptions and false information. We are surrounded by Kuntis who hide the truth in fear. We are surrounded by Karnas, villains who are actually brothers.”
Devdutt Pattanaik, Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata

Jim Thompson
“But even the innocent blow of a child can be painful, possibly more so than that of an adult since its victim cannot bring himself to strike back. His only recourse, when the pain becomes unbearable, is to put himself beyond the child's reach.”
Jim Thompson

Jim Thompson
“Wildly, he declared that she was a whore at heart, that she had always been a whore, that she had been one when he met her.

That was not true. In her early working life, as a photographer's model and cocktail waitress, she had occasionally given herself to men and received gifts in return. But it wasn't the same as whoring. She had liked the men involved. What she gave them was given freely, without bargaining, as were their gifts to her.”
Jim Thompson, The Grifters

Charles Manson
“Look down at me and you see a fool,
Look up at me and you see a god,
Look straight at me and you see yourself.”
Charles Manson

“is not about making the world a peaceful place; it is about us being at peace with the world.”
