• Probablemente no hay nada en la naturaleza humana que resuene más con las cargas que el flujo de energía entre dos cuerpos biológicamente iguales, uno de los cuales ha permanecido en la dicha amniótica dentro del otro, uno de los cuales ha trabajado para dar a luz al otro. Aquí están los materiales para la mutualidad más profunda y el distanciamiento más doloroso.

• Pensar en el exilio es extrañamente atractivo, pero vivirlo es terrible. Es la grieta insalvable que se abre entre el ser humano y su lugar de origen, entre el yo y su verdadero hogar: su tristeza esencial nunca puede superarse. Y aunque es cierto que la literatura y la historia contienen episodios heroicos, románticos, gloriosos e incluso triunfantes en la vida de un exiliado, no son más que esfuerzos destinados a superar el dolor paralizante del extrañamiento.

• The last thing the consumer index wants men and women to do is to figure out how to love one another: The $1.5 trillion retail-sales industry depends on sexual estrangement between men and women, and is fueled by sexual dissatisfaction. Ads do not sell sex--that would be counterproductive, if it meant that heterosexual women and men turned to one another and were gratified. What they sell is sexual discontent.

• La cultura nos ha llevado a traicionar nuestro propio espíritu aborigen y nuestra integridad, hacia un reino cada vez peor de distanciamiento sintético, aislante y empobrecedor. Lo cual no quiere decir que no haya más placeres cotidianos, sin los cuales perderíamos nuestra humanidad. Pero a medida que nuestra situación se agrava, vislumbramos cuánto debe borrarse para nuestra redención.

• In the days of Ram Mohan Roy when English education was introduced in this country, the Mahomedans did not accept it... They did not accept English education and at the same time they were divorced from the culture which their fathers had advanced. The result was that whereas the Hindus got on in life, got into government employment, got many things which people value in life, the Mahomedans were left without it and gradually there came to be a sort of estrangement between the two nationalities at the time of the Swadeshi movement.
