When asked to explain her state: “The only dream worth having is to live while you’re alive, and die only when you’re dead.” She said, “To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and 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, 1959 -
