Arundhati Roy
“That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.”
Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

आचार्य चतुरसेन
“महरी के पीछे-पीछे चोर दरवाज़े में घुसे। कमरों के बाद कमरे, दालान के बाद दालान, सेहन के बाद सेहन पार करते हुए, नौकरों, बाँदियों, लौंडियों और गुलामों की सलामें लेते हुए आखिर बेगम के खास कमरे में पहुँचे। सफेद चाँदनी का फर्श, चाँदी का तख्तपोश और कोच, छत में झाड़ और हज़ारा फानूस, चाँदी की एक पलंगड़ी, कीमती बिल्लौर की गोल मेज़ कमरे के बीचोंबीच।”
आचार्य चतुरसेन [Acharya Chatursen], धर्मपुत्र

“The truth is, the only difference between good girls and bad girls is: Good girls just haven’t been caught yet.”
Richard Cooper, The Unplugged Alpha: The No Bullsh*t Guide To Winning With Women & Life

Arundhati Roy
“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.”
Arundhati Roy, The Cost of Living

आचार्य चतुरसेन
“अम्बपाली की यवनी दासी मदलेखा के निकट आई, उसकी लज्जा से झुकी हुई ठोड़ी उठाई और कहा–‘‘कैसे इतना सहती हो बहिन, जब हम सब बातें करते हैं, हंसते हैं, विनोद करते हैं, तुम मूक-बधिर-सी चुपचाप खड़ी कैसे रह सकती हो? निर्मम पाषाण-प्रतिमा सी! यही विनय तुम्हें सिखाया गया है? ओह! तुम हमारे हास्य में हंसती नहीं और हमारे विलास से प्रभावित भी नहीं होतीं?’’ रोहिणी ने आंखों में आंसू भरकर मदलेखा को छाती से लगा लिया। फिर पूछा–‘‘तुम्हारा नाम क्या है, हला?’’ मदलेखा ने घुटनों तक धरती में झुककर रोहिणी का अभिवादन किया और कहा–‘‘देवी, दासी का नाम मदलेखा है।”
आचार्य चतुरसेन, वैशाली की नगरवधू [Vaishali ki Nagarvadhu]
