Peace we want because there is another war to fight against poverty, disease and ignorance.

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

This is also something I've learned from experience. Didn't they perhaps give us the vote because we went too far?

It's a law of life - check it and you'll see it holds true in every situation of life.

You must also understand us - always undervalued, underestimated, not believed. Even when we believed, you didn't believe us. You said, 'How is it possible to fight without violence?' But without violence we obtained freedom.

I said, I'll put on weight. And I started having massages, taking cod-liver oil, and eating twice as much. But I didn't even gain an ounce. I'd made up my mind that on the day the engagement was announced I'd be fatter, and I didn't gain an ounce. Then I went to Mussoorie, which is a health resort, and I ignored the doctors' instructions; I invented my own regime and gained weight. Just the opposite of what I'd like now. Now I have the problem of keeping slim. Still I manage. I don't know if you realize I'm a determined woman.

I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.
