More quotes by Arundhati Roy
The writer is the midwife of understanding.
Arundhati Roy
Mao said he was prepared to have millions of Chinese people perish in a nuclear war as long as China survived... I'm beginning to find it more and more sick that only humans make it into our calculations... Annihilate life on earth, but save the nation... what's the subject heading? Stupidity or Insanity?
Arundhati Roy
I never do anything because I'm a celebrity, as a rule. I do what I do as a citizen.
Arundhati Roy
Non-violence is a piece of theatre. You need an audience. What can you do when you have no audience?
Arundhati Roy
the truth is that it's far easier to make a bomb than to educate four hundred million people.
Arundhati Roy
When she listened to songs that she loved on the radio, something stirred inside her. A liquid ache spread under her skin, and she walked out of the world like a witch.
Arundhati Roy
America is like some crazed, bewildered, rich giant bumbling around in a poor area with his pockets stuffed with money, and lots of weapons - just throwing stuff around.
Arundhati Roy
In India, whichever language you write in, the possibility of people not understanding irony or not understanding [remains there]. This as a writer is most terrifying!
Arundhati Roy
But remember that if the struggle were to resort to violence, it will lose vision, beauty and imagination. Most dangerous of all, it will marginalize and eventually victimize women. And a political struggle that does not have women at the heart of it, above it, below it, and within it is no struggle at all.
Arundhati Roy
Literature is the opposite of a nuclear bomb.
Arundhati Roy
The strange thing about Roman soldiers in the comics was the amount of trouble they took over their armor and their helmets, and then, after all that, they left their legs bare. It didn't make any sense at all. Weatherwise or otherwise.
Arundhati Roy
The people who created the crisis in the first place will not be the ones that come up with a solution.
Arundhati Roy
Human beings seem unable to live without war, but they are also unable to live without love.
Arundhati Roy
It's OK just to be a writer, who writes about the society in which he lives and the issues that most important. Now how can that not be a writer, it always was. It's just recently that writers have been reduced to these playthings of the market.
Arundhati Roy
But can we, should we, let apprehensions about the future immobilize us in the present?
Arundhati Roy
Poverty is a crime and the poor are terrorists
Arundhati Roy
When people say the people or the public as though it's the final repository of all morality, I sometimes flinch.
Arundhati Roy
In a way, writing is an incredible act of individualism, producing your language, and yet to use it from the heart of a crowd as opposed to as an individual performance is a conflicting thing. I do stand alone, and yet it's not about being an individual or being ambitious.
Arundhati Roy
Wars are never fought for altruistic reasons.
Arundhati Roy
Her grief grieved her. His devastated her.
