A territory is only possessed for a moment in time.

No other continent has endured such an unspeakably bizarre combination of foreign thievery and foreign goodwill.

A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps, sucking life out of death. I am the forest's conscience, but remember, the forest eats itself and lives forever.

Like kids who only ever get socks for Christmas, but still believe with all their hearts in Santa.

Misunderstanding is my cornerstone. It's everyone's, come to think of it. Illusions mistaken for truth are the pavement under our feet.

Listen. Slide the weight from your shoulders and move forward. You are afraid you might forget, but you never will. You will forgive and remember.

I’ve seen how you can’t learn anything when you’re trying to look like the smartest person in the room.

Sugar, it's no parade but you'll get down the street one way or another, so you'd just as well throw your shoulders back and pick up the pace.

Sometimes one likes foolish people for their folly, better than wise people for their wisdom.

I could never muster the courage to speak to girls in my college in Pune. Most of them were Parsis and spoke English. I came from a village and could barely converse in English.

I try to make classics. I don't try to make things that aren't good. It's always a pleasure to see that people care about the kind of music I'm making.

Every time you make the user make a decision they don’t care about, you have failed as a designer.

A conversation isn't a competition.

I want to give people easy things to wear.

It would be a serious mistake to replace a seasoned statesman with a tempermental tycoon who has no respect for the constitution.

I don't think that comedians have a tradition of trashing the next generation.

Trouble follows me wherever I go. Thing I'm in is just a sack o'woe.

Actually, most people don't think I have too much sense because I would rather be fairly intelligent and act dumb instead of not having any sense at all and try to act smart.
