In spite of all temptations of belonging to many nations, I've remained an Indian.

Every object strives for its proper place. A book seeks to be near its truest admirer. Just as this helpless moth seeks to be near the candle that infatuates him.

Boredom provides a stronger inclination to write than anything.

Think of many things. Never place your happiness in one person's power. Be just to yourself.

Why do writers, say, give up a job in economics and decide to write poetry? Or, why do they give up a job in a bank and decide to paint, like Krishan Khanna? They want to convey something.

Put your backbone where your wishbone is.

Don't put things off till it's too late. You are the DJ of your fate.
