“She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderess, a drop of free water. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn’t something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water.”

“ನಾಟಕಕ್ಕೆ ಮುಂಚೆ ಗಣಪತಿ ನಾಮ ಯಾಕೆ ಹೇಳ್ತಿಯ? ಗಣಪತಿ ಇದಾನೋ ಇಲ್ಲವೋ ಎಂಬ ನಿಷ್ಕರ್ಷೆಗೆ ನೀನು ಹೋಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ. ಅಲ್ಲಿರುವುದು ನಾಟಕದ ಬಗೆಗಿನ ನಿನ್ನ ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆ. ಕೆಲವರಿಗೆ ಮೂರ್ತಿಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆ, ಕೆಲವರಿಗೆ ಪುರಾಣಗಳ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆ, ಇನ್ನೂ ಕೆಲವರಿಗೆ ಕಾಣದೆ ಇರುವ ಅಗೋಚರದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆ. ಆ ಶ್ರದ್ಧೆಯನ್ನೇ ಧರ್ಮ ಕಲಿಸಿದ್ದು.”
― Karanam Pavan Prasad, ಕರ್ಮ | Karma

“I do not recognize anyone’s right to one minute of my life. Nor to any part of my energy. Nor to any achievement of mine. No matter who makes the claim, how large their number or how great their need.”

“For every door that’s been opened to me, I’ve tried to open my door to others. And here is what I have to say, finally: Let’s invite one another in. Maybe then we can begin to fear less, to make fewer wrong assumptions, to let go of the biases and stereotypes that unnecessarily divide us. Maybe we can better embrace the ways we are the same. It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about where you get yourself in the end. There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, in owning your unique story, in using your authentic voice. And there’s grace in being willing to know and hear others. This, for me, is how we become.”
― Michelle Obama, Becoming

“We're trying to be grown-up and love each other and understand how the hell you're supposed to insert USB leads. We're looking for something to cling on to, something to fight for, something to look forward to. We're doing all we can to teach our children how to swim. We have all of this in common, yet most of us remain strangers, we never know what we do to each other, how your life is affected by mine.
Perhaps we hurried past each other in a crowd today, and neither of us noticed, and the fibers of your coat brushed against mine for single moment and then we were gone. I don't know who you are.
But when you get home this evening, when this day is over and the night takes us, allow yourself a deep breath. Because we made it through this day as well.
There'll be another one along tomorrow.”
― Fredrik Backman, Anxious People
