“At sunset, on the river ban, Krishna
Loved her for the last time and left. . .

That night in her husband's arms, Radha felt
So dead that he asked, What is wrong,
Do you mind my kisses, love? And she said,
Not not at all, but thought, What is
It to the corpse if the maggots nip?”
― Kamala Das, The Descendants

“The love of a half dead heart will keep you half alive”
― Munia Khan

“God is not a granter of wishes. God is a ruthless bitch.”

“Only one person in the room didn't cry that day and it was the man hunched on a chair, singing passionately from the darkest corners of his soul.”
― Anna McPartlin
