Dipesh Mittal

“Memories warm you up from the inside. But they also tear you apart.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

“The world is what it is: those who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it.”
― Sir Vidya Naipaul

“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
― Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

“We must use what we have to invent what we desire.”
― Adrienne Rich, What is Found There: Notebooks on Poetry and Politics
