“A culture of a shame and secrets is bound to hide its dirty laundry and continue the same offences for generations. You can't healthfully and successfully sweep your dysfunctions under the carpet and pretend nothing has happened. Whether it's your family culture, or your religious culture, or both, this is a great way to grow deep roots of poison and toxic dysfunction in all of your close relationships. It's a great way to destroy yourself and your loved ones. End the culture of secrecy. End the follied pride that seeks to cover up its shame rather than admit it. Face your offenses head on with a desire to fix them and heal.”

“Protest is not a sign of rebellion or disconnection—at least, it shouldn’t be. Quite to the contrary, protest should demonstrate love and investment. It should be a sign that we are so invested that we are not willing to settle or surrender. We protest because something or someone we care about is being hurt or diminished. Protest is not the action of an outsider or someone who is walking away. It is the responsibility of relationship—those who refuse to disconnect.”

“झूठ की उम्र भले ही कम हो, हाथ-पाँव बड़े लम्बे होते हैं जिनसे वो वह दूर तक पासे फेंक सकता है। अफवाहें मेंढक होती है - एक जीभ से दूसरी जीभ पर फुदकती हुई आस-पास के हर साफ-गंदे नाले में एक बार गुडुप से डुबकी ले लेने वाली।....दरअसल हर आदमी के मन में जीवन में कुछ कर नहीं पाने का जो रिसता पछतावा होता है, परनिन्दा-वृत्ति उसका ही विषैला मवाद है- जिस पर भिनभिनाने में कुंठाएँ विशेष सुख पाती हुई पलती-पुसती हैं।”
