Anticipating difficulties was one thing, but spinning horror stories to make my own flesh creep was terrible.


“बहुतों ने पवित्र, निराकार, अभौतिक, प्लेटोनिक प्रेम की बड़ी-बड़ी महिमा गाई है और समझाने की कोशिश की है कि स्त्री-पुरुष का प्रेम सात्विक तल पर ही सीमित रह सकता है। लेकिन यह व्याख्या आत्म-सम्मोहन और परवंचना से अधिक महत्व नहीं रखती। यदि कोई यह कहे कि ऋण और धन विद्युत- तरंग मिलकर प्रज्वलित नहीं होंगे, तो यह मानने की बात है।”

“The act of writing, when it goes well, gives me a pleasure, a joy, unlike any other. It takes me to another place—irrespective of my subject—where I am totally absorbed and oblivious to distracting thoughts, worries, preoccupations, or indeed the passage of time. In those rare, heavenly states of mind, I may write nonstop until I can no longer see the paper. Only then do I realize that evening has come and that I have been writing all day. Over a lifetime, I have written millions of words, but the act of writing seems as fresh, and as much fun, as when I started it nearly seventy years ago.”

“I had spent the day
friendless, lonely and sad,
a stranger to myself.
After drowning the day
on the sea shore,
I walked back
to my empty house
on the deserted street.
The moment
I opened the door,
the book on my table
flipped its pages
and said:
"Friend,
Where were you
for so long?”

“A choice tells the world what is most important to a human being. When a man has a choice to make he chooses what is most important to him, and that choice tells the world what kind of a man he is.”
