“Talks with terror cannot happen, but talks on terror are desirable.”

India has always maintained that there will be no third party in Indo-Pak talks. Hurriyat cannot be a party.

I don’t know whether our watching the play in these times was a coincidence or divine intervention but time and again, we were introspecting.

If Pakistan feels Indian positions are pre-conditions, then there will be no talks.

Eating chocolates or popping pills won’t reduce depression. Instead, one must read Gita. This will help relieve the stress and depression in life. It will help in dealing with challenges of life.

Pakistan is running away from talks which will be held only when we get reply. Time available is only tonight.

If Pakistan NSA wants to come he is welcome. But talks will only be on terrorism. No scope for expansion of agenda.

I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.

The knowledge of God, the formation of ideas, the mastery of desire and passion, the distinction between that which is to be chosen and that which is to be rejected, all these man owes to his form.

April is the cruelest month, breeding lilacs out of the dead land, mixing memory and desire, stirring dull roots with spring rain.

The battle, Sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, Sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable; and let it come! I repeat, Sir, let it come!

Violence is born of the desire to escape oneself.

The wise man sets bounds even to his innocent desires.

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.

Not until one person desires to keep his own bread for himself does hunger ensue.
