Indira Gandhi

You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

My father was a statesman, I am a political woman. My father was a saint. I am not.

You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.

Matrimony is the union of meanness and martyrdom.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
