Satyavati Quotes

“I could not say where it began,
perhaps only the stars can, for beginnings
come clothed in mist.”
― Karthika Naïr, Satyavati

“Vyaasa, my lone living son Vyaasa – with words to hymn this story across millennia while birth and death and love and youth jostle for place, while hate, old hate, spores and multiplies”
― Karthika Naïr, Satyavati

“Hate dissevers takin and goral, black bear and beaver, deer, leopard and dragonfly harboured by this hermitage, hate blanches your still- human eyes, flows down larynx and pharynx and trachea, leadens the breath and whirlpools memory’s voice till all you know all you feel all you seek is nothingness.”
― Karthika Naïr, Satyavati
