Quote by Ruth Harris

“Bose had demonstrated his experimental prowess with homemade instruments employing gunpowder and a bell before British officialdom in the Kolkata Town Hall. He used a homemade 'coherer,' an apparatus he did not seek to patent because he had no interest in making money. Instead, Guglielmo Marconi, who Bose had met in London in 1896, was celebrated for similar work in wireless telegraphy.”

“Koi zid thee ki kya kaha aur likha, kara gaya, usse zyada zaroori lagne laga ki kisne kaha aur kisne likha ya kiya. sabke naam bhari matlab rakne lage the. A willfulness (in me), that more important than what was said and written or done was who said it and who wrote or who did. All our names came to be loaded with meaning.”

Writing Witnessing Communalism

“I brought nothing,” Shevek said. Though the suit had been bleached almost to white and bad shrunk a bit, it still fit, and the harsh familiar touch of holum-fiber cloth was pleasant. He felt like himself again. He sat down on the bed facing the doctor and said, “You see, I know you don't take things, as we do. In your world, in Urras, one must buy things. I come to your world, I have no money, I cannot buy. therefore I should bring. But how much can I bring? Clothing, yes, I might bring two suits. But food? How can I bring food enough? I cannot bring, I cannot buy. If I am to be kept alive, you must give it to me. I am an Anarresti, I make the Urrasti behave like Anarresti: to give. not to sell If you like. Of course, it is not necessary to keep me alive! I am the Beggarman, you see.”

“Nationalism is the political manifestation of a folk's collective unconscious; heathenism/ satanism is the spiritual manifestation. Both ascend from the same source.

“Kada primjetiš da ti se ljudi dive, budi ubijeđen da se dive ljepoti koju je Allah pokazao u tebi, ali i da ne znaju ružnoću koju je Allah skrio u tebi; zato se zahvaljuj Allahu a ne ljudima.”

“Prvi uslov da vas neko i zavoli, to je svakako da mu diskretno najpre prikrijete vaše najbolje odlike; i to bar za onoliko za koliko oprezno prikrivate vaše mane. Treba naročito prikrivati svoju superiornost iz delikatnosti prema nedostacima drugih. Naročito treba zapamtiti da niko ne voli da se divi drugome većma nego sebi.”
