Pointed in the wrong direction, trapped outside their own history and unable to retrace their steps because their footprints had been swept away (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
When she looked at him now, she couldn’t help thinking that the man he had become bore so little resemblance to the boy he had been. His smile was the only piece of baggage he had carried with him from boyhood into manhood (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
The way her body existed only where he touched her. The rest of her was smoke (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
He folded his fear into a perfect rose. He held it out in the palm of his hand. She took it from him and put it in her hair (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
It is true that success is the most boring thing, it is tinny and brittle, failure runs deeper. Success is dangerous. I have a very complicated relationship with that word (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
I am completely a loner. In my head I want to feel I can be anywhere. There is a sort of recklessness that being a loner allows me (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
I really worry about these political people that have no personal life. If there’s nothing that’s lovely, and if there’s nothing that’s just ephemeral, that you can just lie on the floor and bust a gut laughing at, then what’s the point? (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
… he remained restrained and strangely composed. It was a composure born of extreme provocation. It stemmed from a lucidity that lies beyond rage (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
If he touched her, he couldn’t talk to her, if he loved her he couldn’t leave, if he spoke he couldn’t listen, if he fought he couldn’t win (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
He held her as though she was a gift. Given to him in love. Something still and small. Unbearably precious (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
She wore flowers in her hair and carried magic secrets in her eyes. She spoke to no one. She spent hours on the riverbank. She smoked cigarettes and had midnight swims (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
When she listened to songs that she loved on the radio, something stirred inside her. A liquid ache spread under her skin, and she walked out of the world like a witch (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
The trouble is that once you see it, you can’t unsee it. And once you’ve seen it, keeping quiet, saying nothing, becomes as political an act as speaking out. There’s no innocence. Either way, you’re accountable (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
He could do only one thing at a time. If he held her, he couldn’t kiss her. If he kissed her, he couldn’t see her. If he saw her, he couldn’t feel her (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
Flat muscled and honey coloured. Sea secrets in his eyes. A silver raindrop in his ear (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
The only dream worth having, I told her, is to dream that you will live while you’re alive and die only when you’re dead (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
Flags are bits of colored cloth used first to shrinkwrap people’s brains and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
Empathy may be the single most important quality that must be nurtured to give peace a fighting chance (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
... a political struggle that does not have women at the heart of it, above it, below it, and within it is no struggle at all (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
We need a new kind of politics. Not the politics of governance, but the politics of resistance. The politics of opposition. The politics of joining hands across the world and preventing certain destruction (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
It is such a supreme folly to believe that nuclear weapons are deadly only if they’re used (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
Wars are never fought for altruistic reasons. They’re usually fought for hegemony, for business. And then of course there’s the business of war (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
Democracy no longer means what it was meant to. It has been taken back into the workshop. Each of its institutions has been hollowed out, and it has been returned to us as a vehicle for the free market, of the corporations. For the corporations, by the corporations (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
Biology designed the dance. Terror timed it. Dictated the rhythm with which their bodies answered each other. As though they already knew that for each tremor of pleasure they would pay with an equal measure of pain. As though they knew that how far they went would be measured against how far they would be taken (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
I am a woman who is a granddaughter of a lady who used to be beaten on the head by her husband, of a mother who went through hell because she was divorced and had to bring up these kids. And I can take 10 men out to lunch and pay the bill, and nobody even thinks twice about it. So don’t mess with me (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
At a time when opportunism is everything, when hope seems lost, when everything boils down to a cynical business deal, we must find the courage to dream. To reclaim romance. The romance of believing in justice, in freedom, and in dignity. For everybody (Arundhati Roy Quotes)
