“At this point I realised what it meant to be a man in India. It meant knowing what one could do and knowing what one could only get done. It meant being able to hold onto two patterns simultaneously. One was methodical, hierarchical, regulated and the outcome depended on fate, chance, kings and desperate men. The other was intuitive, illicit and guaranteed. The trick was to know when to shift between the patterns, to peel the file off a table and give it to a peon, to speak easily of one's cousin the minister or archbishop. I did not think I would ever know what these shifts entailed, and that meant, in essence, that I was never going to grow up.”

Youth is cause, effect is age; so with the thickening of the neck we get data.”

“J'ai vingt-cinq ans, j'écris ce livre, et j'ai cet âge une fois pour toutes. Cela fait vingt-cinq ans que je l'ai, et j'espère bien l'avoir encore pendant vingt-cinq ans au moins, et même plus d'ailleurs, si mon corps s'aligne sur les statistiques - ce que je suis tout de même en droit d'attendre de lui, me faisant déjà assez remarquer comme ça. J'ai mis longtemps à avoir l'âge que j'avais secrètement, je garderai longtemps secrètement cet âge.”
