William Dalrymple
“One of the very first Indian words to enter the English language was the Hindustani slang for plunder: loot.”
William Dalrymple, The Anarchy: The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“Look unto the stars to teach us How the master’s thoughts can reach us Each one follows Newton’s math Silently along its path.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry

Peter Frankopan
“Rome’s success and its glory stemmed from its seizure of Egypt in the first instance, and then from setting its anchor in the east—in Asia.”
Peter Frankopan, The Silk Roads: A New History of the World

Amish Tripathi
“If we can actually put some thought into our concept of charity, we can finally pay heed to the wise Vidur from the Mahabharat. He said that there are two ways to waste money. One is by giving money or charity to the unworthy. And the other is by not giving it to the worthy.”
Amish Tripathi, Immortal India: Articles and Speeches by Amish

Peter Frankopan
“Two millennia ago, silks made by hand in China were being worn by the rich and powerful in Carthage and other cities in the Mediterranean, while pottery manufactured in southern France could be found in England and in the Persian Gulf. Spices and condiments grown in India were being used in the kitchens of Xinjiang, as they were in those of Rome. Buildings in northern Afghanistan carried inscriptions in Greek, while horses from Central Asia were being ridden proudly thousands of miles away to the east.”
Peter Frankopan, The Silk Roads: A New History of the World
