Quote by Arundhati Roy

“Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next. We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.”

“The world has enough for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed." ― Mahatma Gandhi Gandhiji had said these immortal words that are so true now than at any other time. Mother Nature has given us resources that are sufficient for everyone but not enough for everybody's greed. Some people because of their greed are trying to keep a lot more than what is required for themselves. This is creating socio-economic disparities. Most importantly, Gandhiji's philosophy was about creating a better world. We have a choice to lead a simple life, but one that is truly 'rich' in meaning.”

“I want you to take me the way the night takes the day—slowly, inevitably, until nothing remains. The way the tide aches for the shore—pulling, reaching, desperate to belong. I want you. Everywhere. You, beneath me, above me, around me, within me. I want to lose myself in you, to forget where I end and you begin. I want you to unmake me, to strip me down to nothing but love, nothing but you. I want your love to know no other home but mine. —I won’t be convinced by anything but your presence.”
