Even if we don't know it or aren't aware of it, politics and philosophy are really what make our up lives.

Indian culture certainly gives the Indian mind, including the mind of the Indian scientist, the ability to think out of the box.

Very good coaches for ski jumpers stand at the top of the slope and watch the jumpers prepare, rather than standing at the bottom and watching them land.

When you look at our world, the truth is that we're all under the influence of politics.

I began to feel that, in a sense, we were all prisoners of our own history.

Conventionally, one looks at history as something of the past. But after Einstein, who knows what is in the past and what is in the present?

I simply wanted to state that during this little slice of history, this is what happened and these were the good sides of it, these were the more dangerous sides of it, and this was the result.
