«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, The Cost of Living
