Devdutt Pattanaik
“Unlike Greek narratives, where achievement is celebrated, and biblical narratives, where submission and discipline are celebrated, in Indic thought understanding is celebrated.”
Devdutt Pattanaik, Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana

Ayn Rand
“Great men can’t be ruled... The great is the rare, the difficult, the exceptional.”
Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

Harper Lee
“You rarely win, but sometimes you do.”
Harper Lee

Mikhail Bulgakov
“Most bad," the host concluded. "If you ask me, something sinister lurks in men who avoid wine, games, the company of lovely women, and dinnertime conversation. Such people are either gravely ill or secretly detest everyone around them.”
Mikhail Bulgakov, The Master and Margarita

Ayn Rand
“He’s paying the price and wondering for what sin and telling himself that he’s been too selfish. In what act or thought of his has there ever been a self? What was his aim in life? Greatness—in other people’s eyes. Fame, admiration, envy—all that which comes from others. Others dictated his convictions, which he did not hold, but he was satisfied that others believed he held them. Others were his motive power and his prime concern. He didn’t want to be great, but to be thought great.”
Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
