“उसका मेरे लिए प्यार बस एक भ्रम था, जबकि मेरा प्यार सच्चा और स्पष्ट था। मैं हर संभव कोशिश करती रही, लेकिन उसके संदेहपूर्ण नज़रों ने मुझे हमेशा ये सोचने पर मजबूर कर दिया कि मैं कहाँ कमी कर रही हूँ। असल में, इसका मतलब सिर्फ इतना था कि आप कभी भी उस व्यक्ति के लिए पर्याप्त नहीं हो सकते, जो आपको चाहता ही नहीं।”

Maybe they will have all been terrorists or supporters of terrorists or whatever adjacency to terror is sufficient to scare off those who, in possession of something approximating a soul, might otherwise look upon such obvious assassination and say: This is wrong. Absent an act to describe and the language to describe it, we are capable of believing nothing, or multiple contradictory things, or anything at all.”

Number two: Gather information from as many sources as you can. Your mom isn't offering much... fine. But where else can you dig? Your terrain is much bigger than you think. And number three: You could be wrong. Do you know that Darwin was shockingly wrong about heredity? Everyone can come to the wrong conclusion. And if you do, you'll be in a good company.”
