Quote by Aravind Adiga

“Now there are some, and I don't just mean Communists like you, but thinking men of all political parties, who think that not many of these gods actually exist. Some believe that none of them exist. There's just us and an ocean of darkness around us. I'm no philosopher or poet, how would I know the truth? It's true that all these gods seem to do awfully little work - much like our politicians - and yet keep winning reelection to their golden thrones in heaven, year after year. That's not to say I don't respect them, Mr. Premier! Don't you ever let that blasphemous idea into your yellow skull. My country is the kind where it pays to play it both ways: the Indian entrepreneur has to be straight and crooked, mocking and believing, sly and sincere, at the same time.”

“Matthews quietly stood by the closed door, watching the patient. Her dramatic eyes darted back and forth as they stared through nothingness, lost in thought. His gaze shifted to her blazing locks, which elegantly fell upon her bare shoulders. Her skin was a pure porcelain that reminded him of his mother’s doll collection. Bridget’s petite frame and angelic complexion were stunning, and in another world, Matthews would have allowed himself to fall for her at first sight. He imagined seeing her in a bookstore with a specialty coffee in one hand and Nietzsche’s Beyond Good and Evil in another. She would push her frames up her nose with her index finger before flipping the page and sipping her latte. Matthews, free of his work uniform, would sit in a chair across from her with his copy of The Metamorphosis. The young man would steal glances at her from behind his novel as he worked up the courage to speak to her. She would smile coyly when she caught him peeking, and when they finally made eye contact, he would strike up a conversation. Then he would take her to dinner, and everything else would fall into place.”

“Beklemediğim bir şekilde onun da bana meydan okuyup hislerime karşılık vermesiyle beynimde başlayan fuzuli acılar, kalbimdeki kramplar ve bu kusurlu güzellikteki lahzaya karşı titremelerle sarsılan dudağımı, onun dudaklarına götürdüm ve gözlerimi kapattım. Sıcaklığının tüm bedenime yayılmasını beklerken, içimden bir şeylerin uçup gitmesini bekliyordum. Oysa tahmin ettiğimden daha feci bir şekilde sarsılarak, kanatlarını ciğerlerine saplaya saplaya boğazımdan çıkmaya çalışan beyaz güvercinlerdi beni yerime sabitleyen. Kımıldayamıyordum.”
