― Nayyirah Waheed, salt.

“The soil, it appears, is suited to the seed, for it has sent its radicle downward, and it may now send its shoot upward also with confidence. Why has man rooted himself thus firmly in the earth, but that he may rise in the same proportion into the heavens above?”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“தொட்டிலுக்கு அன்னை கட்டிலுக்குக் கன்னி
பட்டினிக்குத் தீனி கெட்ட பின்பு ஞானி

A mother for the cradle, a damsel for the bed
food for hunger, sinistrad realised saint.”
― Kannadhasan

“When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European, or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. So a man who is seeking to understand violence does not belong to any country, to any religion, to any political party or partial system; he is concerned with the total understanding of mankind.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti
