Book cover for The Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy, #1)
‘I believe in science. It provides a solution and a rationale for everything. And if there is anything that appears like a miracle, the only explanation is that a scientific reason for it has not been discovered as yet.’

George R.R. Martin
“When you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him.”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

George R.R. Martin
“Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Douglas Adams
“The Total Perspective Vortex derives its picture of the whole Universe on the principle of extrapolated matter analyses.To explain — since every piece of matter in the Universe is in some way affected by every other piece of matter in the Universe, it is in theory possible to extrapolate the whole of creation — every sun, every planet, their orbits, their composition and their economic and social history from, say, one small piece of fairy cake. The man who invented the Total Perspective Vortex did so basically in order to annoy his wife.”
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

George R.R. Martin
“It all goes back and back," Tyrion thought, "to our mothers and fathers and theirs before them. We are puppets dancing on the strings of those who came before us, and one day our own children will take up our strings and dance in our steads.”
George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

Stephen R. Covey
“Marilyn Ferguson observed, “No one can persuade another to change. Each of us guards a gate of change that can only be opened from the inside. We cannot open the gate of another, either by argument or by emotional appeal.”
Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
