Jeet Thayil
“Women are more evolved biologically and emotionally, that’s well known
and it’s obvious. But they confuse sex and the spirit; they don’t
separate. Men, as you know, always separate: they separate
their human and dog natures.”
― Jeet Thayil, Narcopolis

Jeet Thayil
“Drugs are a bad habit, so why do it? Because, said Dimple, it isn't the heroin that we're addicted to, it's the drama of the life, the chaos of it, that's the real addiction and we never get over it; and because when you come down to it, the high life, that is, the intoxicated life, is the best of the limited options offered.”
― Jeet Thayil

Nadeem Aslam
“Pakistan produces people of extraordinary bravery. But no nation should ever require its citizens to be that brave.”
― Nadeem Aslam

Jeet Thayil
“My religion is no way of knowing me.”
― Jeet Thayil, Narcopolis

Jeet Thayil
“Then there are the addicts, the hunger addicts, the rage addicts, the poverty addicts , and power addicts, and the pure addicts who are addicted not to substances but to the oblivion and the tenderness the substances engender. An addict, if you don't mind me saying so, is like a saint. What is a saint but someone who has cut himself off, voluntarily, from the world's traffic and currency.”
― Jeet Thayil, Narcopolis
