Book cover for An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India
To a common type of Anglo-Indian mind, any criticism of the Government, any claim to further freedom, is sedition.

Om Swami
“Our identification with the body is so strong that most people spend their lives simply taking care of the body. The body feels cold, let’s clothe it; it feels hot, let’s remove the layers; it’s hungry, feed it; it’s tired, give it rest. We become so preoccupied with fulfilling the body’s many desires—cleaning, feeding, clothing, decorating and protecting it, that we become its slaves.”
Om Swami, If Truth Be Told: A Monk's Memoir

Arthur C. Clarke
“The thing’s hollow—it goes on forever—and—oh my God!—it’s full of stars!
Arthur C. Clarke, 2001: A Space Odyssey

Franz Kafka
“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? (...) We need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us.”
Franz Kafka, Letters to Friends, Family, and Editors

“As one acts and conducts himself, so does he become. The doer of good becomes good. The doer of evil becomes evil. One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action”
Maitreya Upanishad

“Kinder than is necessary. Because it's not enough to be kind. One should be kinder than needed.”
R.J. Palacio, Wonder
