“Antonin Artaud wrote on one of his drawings, "Never real and always true," and that is how depression feels. You know that it is not real, that you are someone else, and yet you know that it is absolutely true.”

“The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best one knows.”

“People always say that, when you love someone, nothing in the world matters. But that's not true, is it? You know, and I know, that when you love someone, everything in the world matters a little bit more.”

“All you know is what you think you know, but that isn't always what's real.”

“So long as men praise you, you can only be sure that you are not yet on your own true path but on someone else's.”

“When something is real or true, it will feel stable and solid, even if you don’t feel “good” about it.”

“Kumble was a real, out and out professional. It is definitely a sad day for Indian cricket. You won`t realise the impact of his retirement now but when you won`t hear his name after some days, you will his void. He decided to retire absolutely at the right time. A few days back I wrote in a column that you don`t have to tell Kumble when to retire because being a true gentleman he knows when to take the call. Kumble left the game with utmost respect. He showed his true sportsmanship in Australia.”

“When you lose someone and it still hurts, that's when you know the love was real.”

“When a person you love dies, it doesn’t feel real. It’s like it’s happening to someone else. It’s someone else’s life. I’ve never been good with the abstract. What does it mean when someone is really truly gone?”

“We know how to speak many falsehoods which resemble real things, but we know, when we will, how to speak true things.”
