― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

“People always loved best what they identified most with.”

“If you are happy in a dream, Ammu, does that count? Estha asked. "Does what count?" "The happiness does it count?". She knew exactly what he meant, her son with his spoiled puff.

― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
