“It is not patriarchal to hold the door for a lady, It is not cowardly to leave your seat to the elderly. But it is barbaric to harass a breastfeeding mother, And prehistoric to force a woman carry a pregnancy.”

“And like they say, sometimes you have no teacher but your experiences. My experience taught me every day. I blundered my way through but learnt the ropes. I was a woman thrown into a role bigger than me, but I held on to the girl of my childhood—sweet Jindan. Whenever things became too much, whenever I did not have the answer, I sought it in my mind, frolicking in the expanse of my childhood village.”

“Your mind, son, that is the power you have when your body is in chains. Don’t let them get to your mind. They can chain up your limbs, they can hold you hostage in alien lands, but they can’t stop the flow of your thoughts, your own mind. Hold on to that, son. If you ask me what we ought to salvage, I would say salvage the mind. We can always fill up the Toshakhana, it is the mind that needs to be free of chains.”

“The first and most important relationship is the Being and the Nonbeing relationship. This relationship enables the world to put itself into motion. Existence is the source of relativity and relations. Relations are the source of life. Relativity is the source of life of the Absolute Being and the Absolute Nonbeing. Once in a relationship, the Absolute Being becomes a Relative Being, and the Absolute Nonbeing becomes a Relative Nonbeing. The relativity of the poles of the Absolute creates the relativity of the Absolute. Without relativity, absolute would not be possible. Without an absolute, relativity would be meaningless and accidental.”
