“To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget.” ~ Arundhati Roy

She is an amazing woman…without a doubt. 🙂
Quite amazing! 😀
She’s wonderful – but the quote is quite a mixed bag, a melange, or bouquet. I prefer parts where she says to look around you and never forget. To me she is such a great voice for decency, dignity and nature.
Yes…I agree, her words are wonderful to me. 🙂
