Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“It is with excellence that we'll revolutionize our world, not with success. Look at all those successful people - not a single concern for the downtrodden - not a single act of genuine compassion for those who have nothing - if this is success, then let me remain unsuccessful the rest of my life while struggling to elevate my society.”

Yo te bendigo por el instante de alegría que diste al transeúnte melancólico, extraño, solitario… ¡Dios mío! ¿Un instante de felicidad no es suficiente para toda una vida?”

“I see us as a black and white version of John and Yoko, a duet of magic and productivity. It feels as though it will last forever. Richard Pryor has finally found his panacea, me. People look at me as Richard's deliverance: he is the tragic, self- destructive freak no longer.”
