Kuldip Nayar
“Over the years I have felt that both the IAS and IPS have developed a kind of feudal class consciousness that does not go well with the service to the people that India needs. Their initial idealism begins to diminish within a few years of service and they gradually become part of the furniture.”
Kuldip Nayar, Beyond The Lines: An Autobiography

Saadat Hasan Manto
“Manto had earlier been prosecuted in Lahore for obscenity, and one of the words alleged to have been obscene was, “breasts”
Saadat Hasan Manto, Why I Write: Essays by Saadat Hasan Manto

Gaston Bachelard
“How concrete everything becomes in the world of the spirit when an object, a mere door, can give images of hesitation, temptation, desire, security, welcome and respect. If one were to give an account of all the doors one has closed and opened, of all the doors one would like to re-open, one would have to tell the story of one's entire life.”
Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space

Adam Smith
“The prudent man always studies seriously and earnestly to understand whatever he professes to understand, and not merely to persuade other people that he understands it; and though his talents may not always be very brilliant, they are always perfectly genuine”
Adam Smith, The Theory of Moral Sentiments

Mulk Raj Anand
“How queer, the Hindus don’t feed their cows although they call the cow “mother”!’ Bakha thought.”
Mulk Raj Anand, Untouchable
