― Alok Mishra

“Firm was my resolve
and fragile was my heart.
I saw many ends and many a start.”
― Alok Mishra, Moving for Moksha

“Loneliness is a passive state. It is a compulsion when you are left on your own by others. Solitude, on the other hand, is a fully conscious choice that you make.”
― Alok Mishra

“A great literary classic should not require an introductory essay and ten pages of footnotes to be understood. It should require a human heart and a curious mind.”
― Alok Mishra
