“person’s use of pronouns offers deep insights into his or her relative authority. If you’re hearing a lot of “I,” “me,” and “my,” the real power to decide probably lies elsewhere. Picking up a lot of “we,” “they,” and “them,” it’s more likely you’re dealing directly with a savvy decision maker keeping his options open.”

“It was no easy task to integrate such a big country, with its many religions and languages, which had never been one country. So many different States had to be integrated and organized in order that the whole country should be free. But we had comparatively little trouble; we have, therefore, not enough appreciation for this. That, however, is not the end of our task.”

“நூற்றாண்டுகளாக மனிதனின் காமம் உடலில் இருந்து உள்ளத்துக்கு மாற்றப்பட்டுவிட்டது. மனிதன் அளவுக்கு காமத்தையே எண்ணிக்கொண்டிருக்கும் பிற உயிரினம் ஏதும் இருக்க முடியாது. உள்ளத்துக்கு எல்லை இல்லை. ஆகவே மானுடனின் காமத்துக்கும் எல்லையே இல்லை. அது அவனுக்குள் பெருகிப்பெருகிச் சென்றபடியே இருக்கும். உண்மையில் காமத்தை கட்டுப்படுத்துதல் என்ற செயலைவிட ஒரு சாதாரண மனிதனுக்குள் இருக்கும் இந்த காமம் பலமடங்கு செயற்கையானது.”
