It has been my experience that people who are at cross-purposes with nature are cynical about mankind and ill at ease with themselves.

If you only knew, for instance, how much I enjoy being a grandmother! Do you know I'm twice a grandmother? Rajiv and Sonia have had a boy and a girl.

The civil servant is primarily the master of the short-term solution.

Mahatma Gandhi was always talking of religion...He was convinced that was right...The fact is, we young people didn't agree with him on many things.

We always said that our struggle was not only against the British as representatives of colonialism, it was against all the evil that existed in India. The evil of the feudal system, the evil of the system based on caste, the evil of economic injustice.

There are only moments of happiness - from contentment to ecstacy.
