Quote by Darrell Smith

“Protest is not a sign of rebellion or disconnection—at least, it shouldn’t be. Quite to the contrary, protest should demonstrate love and investment. It should be a sign that we are so invested that we are not willing to settle or surrender. We protest because something or someone we care about is being hurt or diminished. Protest is not the action of an outsider or someone who is walking away. It is the responsibility of relationship—those who refuse to disconnect.”

“झूठ की उम्र भले ही कम हो, हाथ-पाँव बड़े लम्बे होते हैं जिनसे वो वह दूर तक पासे फेंक सकता है। अफवाहें मेंढक होती है - एक जीभ से दूसरी जीभ पर फुदकती हुई आस-पास के हर साफ-गंदे नाले में एक बार गुडुप से डुबकी ले लेने वाली।....दरअसल हर आदमी के मन में जीवन में कुछ कर नहीं पाने का जो रिसता पछतावा होता है, परनिन्दा-वृत्ति उसका ही विषैला मवाद है- जिस पर भिनभिनाने में कुंठाएँ विशेष सुख पाती हुई पलती-पुसती हैं।”

“The two most common lies in our world are 'I'm fine' and 'You'll be okay'. They are said without harmful intent, and often said in an attempt to placate worries, but still they tell us it is not our place to make another person uncomfortable or to draw too much attention to ourselves. Over and over, we mindlessly repeat variations of the same two phrases as we hide within our lies and attempt to spare others from the miserable truth. I'm fine. I'm okay. You're fine. You'll be okay. Everything will be all right. We become our lies, but only on the surface. Underneath, we are not fine and they will not be okay. We all know this but we're afraid to speak it.”
