Silence is the tortured man's revenge.

The choking humidity makes amphibians of us all, in Bombay, breathing water in air; you learn to live with it, and you learn to like it, or you leave.

There's no such thing as forever.

I don't know what frightens me more, the power that crushes us, or our endless ability to endure it.

I look back, now, and I know that the naming moment, which seemed so insignificant then, which seemed to demand no more than an arbitrary and superstitious yes or no, was in fact a pivotal moment in my life.

Ask people for help. You'll be all right. Don't worry. It's a great adventure, your life, and it has only just begun.

Anything that can be put in a nut shell should remain there.
