C. Rajagopalachari, Mahabharata

“What is whole, this is whole; what has come out of the whole is also whole. When the whole is taken out of the whole, the whole still remains whole.”
C. Rajagopalachari, Ramayana

“Hati yang penuh dengan kebencian tidak akan pernah mengenal kata puas. Kebencian adalah bara api kejam yang menghabiskan energi orang yang menghidupinya.”
C. Rajagopalachari, Kitab Epos Mahabharata
