Thoughts by Arundhati Roy

May you find inspiration in these thoughts and quotes by Arundhati Roy from my large Daily Inspiration library of inspiring quotes and inspirational words.

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 to understand.
To never look away. And never, never, to forget.
- Arundhati Roy
