ऋत्विक

“India itself cannot be viewed only as a bundle of the old and the new, accidentally and uncomfortably pieced together, an artificial construct without a natural unity. Nor is she just a repository of quaint, fashionable accessories to Western lifestyles; nor a junior partner in a global capitalist world. India is its own distinct and unified civilization with a proven ability to manage profound differences, engage creatively with various cultures, religions and philosophies, and peacefully integrate many diverse streams of humanity.”
― Rajiv Malhotra, Being Different: An Indian Challenge to Western Universalism

“हे सारथे ! हैं द्रोण क्या, देवेन्द्र भी आकर अड़े,
है खेल क्षत्रिय बालकों का व्यूह-भेदन कर लड़े।
श्रीराम के हयमेध से अपमान अपना मान के,
मख अश्व जब लव और कुश ने जय किया रण ठान के।।”
― Maithili Sharan Gupt, जयद्रथ वध

“But since when has a lust-intoxicated man thought about the feelings of others?”
― S.L. Bhyrappa, ಆವರಣ [Aavarana]

“जिस पर हृदय का प्रेम होता सत्य और समग्र है,
उसके लिए चिन्तित तथा रहता सदा वह व्यग्र है।”
― Maithili Sharan Gupt, जयद्रथ वध
