Quote by Sakoon Singh

“What a miracle it was to see my child breastfeed! How God ensures that a mother can assuage her child’s hunger without depending on anything or anyone! It is a great equalizer, for whether you are a drifter on the streets or a queen, it’s all the same.”

“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.”

“Hegel represents history as the self-realization of spirit (Geist) or God. The fundamental scheme of his theory is as follows. Spirit is self-creative energy imbued with a drive to become fully conscious of itself as spirit. Nature is spirit in its self-objectification in space; history is spirit in its self-objectification as culture—the succession of world-dominant civilizations from the ancient Orient to modern Europe. Spirit actualizes its nature as self-conscious being by the process of knowing. Through the mind of man, philosophical man in particular, the world achieves consciousness of itself as spirit. This process involves the repeated overcoming of spirit's alienation (Entfremdung) from itself, which takes place when spirit as the knowing mind confronts a world that appears, albeit falsely, as objective, i.e. as other than spirit. Knowing is recognition, whereby spirit destroys the illusory otherness of the objective world and recognizes it as actually subjective or selbstisch. The process terminates at the stage of "absolute knowledge," when spirit is finally and fully "at home with itself in its otherness," having recognized the whole of creation as spirit—Hegelianism itself being the scientific form of this ultimate self-knowledge on spirit's part.”

“Sage mir selbst, dass ich es übertreibe, dass ich doch pfuschen und es langsam angehen lassen könnte, es spielt ja keine Rolle, niemand würde den Unterschied bemerken, aber es ist etwas Altes, von innen Kommendes, etwas, das mir nicht gehört, das mich weitertreibt, auf den Boden und unter die Maschine, das meine Hände und meinen Willen lenkt, das mich hart arbeiten lässt, härter, als ich es aushalte. Das arbeitet in mir, diese alte Willenskraft, dieses Pflichtgefühl, das ich nicht kenne und das mich antreibt, wo kommt das her? Diese strenge, unhörbare Stimme, der ich gehorche und die mich weiterzwingt, durch die Stahltür, auf den Boden in dem kräftigen Licht, in die Dunkelheit unter der Maschine. Ich liege unter der Maschine und arbeite unnötig hart, unnötig genau, ich kann es selbst nicht verstehen, es ist eine Seite von mir, die mir bis dahin unbekannt war; dieser Ehrgeiz, diese Genauigkeit, diese Bereitwilligkeit, mich zu verausgaben, restlos zu verausgaben. Im Laufe dieser Monate unter den Maschinen begreife ich, dass ich mich nicht zur Arbeit eigne, oder mich eben allzu gut dazu eigne; ich beschließe, dass ich nie arbeiten werde, dass ich keinen Job will. Ich liege unter der Maschine und folge der Uhr, der großen Uhr über der Tür, es ist drei vor zwölf. Ich krieche unter dem Webstuhl hervor, gehe zu Waschbecken und Spiegel, wasche mir die Hände, und sehe das Gesicht, das mir nicht mehr gehört, es gehört der Arbeit.”
