All at once we were madly, clumsily, shamelessly, agonizingly in love with each other; hopelessly, I should add, because that frenzy of mutual possession might have been assuaged only by our actually imbibing and assimilating every particle of each other’s soul and flesh; but there we were, unable even to mate as slum children would have so easily found an opportunity to do so Picture Quote #1

Hate builds up from the childhood when your world was a slum, but you haven’t got the right to blow it to kingdom come Picture Quote #1

I am aware it’s easy and may be fashionable to pose with a slum child, and the irony of getting the media along means that it can come across as disingenuous. But you take these things on board, and you hope you mean it whenever you get stuck into something Picture Quote #1

America’s corporations are a spiritual slum, and their arrogance is the major threat to our future as a free society Picture Quote #1

The great majority of Baghdad is a slum - a lot of it’s new, but it’s still slum. It’s usually this concrete-block, one-room design with a door and a window, arranged one-up, one-down, often with a shop with nothing in it on the first floor, and then a one-room apartment above it.

The first Parikrma school started in a slum where there were 70,000 people living below the poverty line.

The daily lesson of slum life, visualised, reiterated, of low standards, vile living, obscenity, profanity, impurity, is bound tobe dwarfing and debasing to the children who are in the midst of it Picture Quote #1

I want to show that the underdog can win. I believe were all the same: you, a slum girl, my mother Picture Quote #1

Walking around a slum in a third world country quickly puts into perspective what really matters in life. It grounds you in a way that you can’t experience without getting out of your bubble at home Picture Quote #1

I have committed myself to joy. I have come to realize that those who make space for joy, those who prefer nothing to joy, those who desire the utter reality, will most assuredly have it.

In this prison of now, in this cynical and sophisticated age, someone must believe in joy Picture Quote #1

Strengthen the rural areas and you will find less people migrating to urban areas. You give them opportunity, self respect and self confidence, they will never go to an urban slum Picture Quote #1
