It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can't build my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery and death."

I hate war.

So I vowed to keep myself alive, but only if I would never use me again for just me - each one of us is born of two, and we really belong to each other.

ARUNDHATI ROY
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.
