“There was no answer, except the general answer life gives to all the most complex and insoluble questions. That answer is: one must live for the needs of the day, in other words, become oblivious. To become oblivious in dreams was impossible now, at least till night-time; it was impossible to return to that music sung by carafe-women; and so one had to become oblivious in the dreams of life.”

“The cost of oblivious daydreaming was always this moment of return, the realignment with what had been before and now seemed a little worse.”

“Impossible questions require impossible answers.”

“One asks and asks and always the answers become more incomprehensible than the question. In the end one becomes an idiot.

“There was no solution, save that universal solution which life gives to all questions, even the most complex and insolvable: One must live in the needs of the day--that is, forget oneself.”

“Asks the Possible to the Impossible, "Where is your dwelling place?" "In the dreams of the impotent," comes the answer.”

“By means of beauty all beautiful things become beautiful. For this appears to me the safest answer to give both to myself and others; and adhering to this, I think that I shall never fall, but that it is a safe answer both for me and any one else to give — that by means of beauty beautiful things become beautiful.”

“The most important questions in life can never be answered by anyone except oneself.”

“Life is not supposed to make things complex. It is to unwind things, by giving simple answers to simple questions.”

“I dream of India becoming one of four most powerful economies of the world. I believe this dream can be made a reality within our life times.”
