“They were not friends, Comdrade Pillai and Inspector Thomas Matthew, and they didn't trust each other. But they understood each other perfectly. They were both men whom childhood had abandoned without a trace. Men without curiosity. Without doubt. Both in their own way truly, terrifyingly, adult. They looked out into the world and never wondered how it worked, because they knew. They worked it. They were mechanics who serviced different parts of the same machine.”
― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

“There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you.”
― Bruce Lee
