Quote by Sara Desai

“It took a broken menstrual pad dispenser, a chance encounter, an inheritance, a failing company, a distillery, a rishta auntie, a hapless suitor, a spreadsheet, seven dates, a sword, extra-hot pork vindaloo, an Irish brawl, a sick dog, endless games of Guitar Hero, a hockey game, Shark Stew, a broken bed, a walk of shame, a quiz night, back-office shenanigans, a jealous ex, a motorcycle crash, a crisis of conscience, a break up, six pints of ice cream, four pounds of gummy bears, a partnership offer, a heart-to-heart, a family interrogation, a grovel, and a death-defying midnight climb to get them together.”

“Loveburnt (The Sonnet) Jungle creatures look beautiful, When they are in a habitat that's natural. The human mind is beautiful when, Mind and muhabbet are indistinguishable. Don’t go about looking for your phone, To google the meaning of muhabbet. It's just a term for the timeless force of love, The force at the core of all civilized sentience. You can't force love, all you can do is, Be vulnerable and reach out despite your insecurity. Whether the person of your heart responds back, Is not in your hands, but a matter of cosmic serendipity. You may burn in the inferno of hate and fear all you want. Bearing all snowstorm I stand unbent, ready to be loveburnt.”

“[...] el amor -la irresistible afirmación de lo personal- era lo que provocaba -y sigue provocando- la oposición más virulenta por parte de la autoridad. Una sociedad represiva puede tolerar una gran cantidad de actividad sexual, siempre y cuando ésta pueda ser canalizada por donde la autoridad lo desee. El Imperio romano aprobaba las orgías. La prostitución se propagaba desmesuradamente en la época de la reina Victoria. Hitler cantaba las alabanzas del sexo para la procreación. Pero el amor -el verdadero amor erótico y personal- puede hacer temblar los cimientos de un imperio y no puede ser tolerado.”
