Danielle LaPorte
“Can you remember who you were, before the world told you who you should be?”
Danielle LaPorte

Abhijit Naskar
“You know what is the most complicated feature of human nature? It is the term complication itself. We are never satisfied with keeping things simple. We always tend to exaggerate even the simplest phenomenon of this planet.”
Abhijit Naskar, What is Mind?

Arundhati Roy
“When the sun grew hot, they returned indoors where they continued to float through their lives like a pair of astronauts, defying gravity, limited only by the outer walls of their fuchsia spaceship with its pale pistachio doors. It isn’t as though they didn’t have plans. Anjum waited to die. Saddam waited to kill.”
Arundhati Roy, The Ministry of Utmost Happiness

Jane Smiley
“Every spot on earth is particular, detailed, and incomprehensibly complex.”
Jane Smiley

Michel Foucault
“There is no need for arms, physical violence, material constraints. Just a gaze. An inspecting gaze, a gaze that each individual under its weight will end by [internalising] to the point that they are their own overseer, each individual thus exercising surveillance over, and against themself.”
Michel Foucault
