Ramakrishna

It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.

Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.

Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

For quite a while, I didn't receive a higher academic status. I didn't feel any discrimination against me as a woman scientist, but I hadn't produced a lot of science journal articles.
