“If not his life, Rustom Iraqiwalla wanted his death to be worth something.”
― Gaurav Parab, Rustom and the Last Storyteller of Almora

“I talk to my inner lover, and I say, why such rush?
We sense that there is some sort of spirit that loves
birds and animals and the ants--
perhaps the same one who gave a radiance to you
in your mother's womb.
Is it logical you would be walking around entirely orphaned now?
The truth is you turned away yourself,
and decided to go into the dark alone.
Now you are tangled up in others, and have forgotten
what you once knew,
and that's why everything you do has some weird sense of failure in it.”
― Kabir

“Most families pass heirlooms from generation to generation. The Iraqiwallas moved old Fali’s gun around. Take it, and don’t forget to leave instructions for the next user.”
― Gaurav Parab, Rustom and the Last Storyteller of Almora

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
― H. Jackson Brown Jr., P.S. I Love You
