Quote by Melanie Dale

“I think every emergency vehicle in town wee-ooh-wee-oohed to whatever was happening--- a car crash or something. Be careful on your way to school." Car crash? Mina thought back to her dream, which was already fading, as dreams do. "Another reason to continue my commitment to the pedestrian life." "You are going to need to practice driving at some point---" "Can't crash if I don't drive. Safety first, Mom.”

“A profound impression was created by the discourses of Professor GN Chakravarti and Mrs Besant, who is said to have risen to unusual heights of eloquence, so exhilarating were the influences of the gathering. Besides those who represented our society and religions, especially Vivekananda, VR Gandhi, Dharmapala, captivated the public, who had only heard of Indian people through the malicious reports of interested missionaries, and were now astounded to see before them and hear men who represented the ideal of spirituality and human perfectibility as taught in their respective sacred writings.”

“Strebe nach diesem Kuss des Geliebten, dieser Berührung der Lippen, die den bhakta verzückt und ihn in Gott verwandelt. Für denjenigen, der mit einem solchen Kuss gesegnet wurde, verschwinden die Welten, Sonne und Mond vergehen und selbst das Universum schmilzt dahin in einen unendlichen Ozean der Liebe. Das ist die vollkommene Verzückung nondualer Liebe. (The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 3, Lectures from Colombo to Almora, The Sages of India) (S. 208)”

“(Nor was Shelley’s dad of any interest to Mira as an adversary. He was a mortgage broker with an irritable disposition who was always, in the family parlance, ‘in a rage’--an infirmity openly encouraged, as Mira pointed out, by his wife, who indeed devoted an unusual proportion of her daily conversation to reminding her husband of the many kinds of people in the world whom he disliked. That this list, which included vegans, slow walkers, loudmouths, ostentatious breast-feeders, people of indeterminate gender, buskers, bad drivers, and the unwashed, covered in one way or another the entire membership of Birnam Wood, Mira did not appear to find insulting. She saw Shelley’s father as a creature of his wife’s devising, not an autonomous adult, but a hapless pawn designed by Mrs Noakes for the solitary purpose of throwing her own, more vivid personality into greater relief--a plainly narcissistic exercise of which she, Mira, could not remotely see the appeal.)”
