Arundhati Roy
The writer is the midwife of understanding.
Arundhati Roy
This was the trouble with families. Like invidious doctors, they knew just where it hurt.
Arundhati Roy
The American people ought to know that it is not them, but their government's policies, that are so hated.
Arundhati Roy
Being with him made her feel as though her soul had escaped from the narrow confines of her island country into the vast, extravagant spaces of his. He made her feel as though the world belonged to them- as though it lay before them like an opened frog on a dissecting table, begging to be examined.
Arundhati Roy
History is really a study of the future, not the past.
Arundhati Roy

Arundhati Roy
The corporate revolution will collapse if we refuse to buy what they are selling - their ideas, their version of history, their wars, their weapons, their notion of inevitability. Remember this: We be many and they be few. They need us more than we need them.
Arundhati Roy
At some stage, as the water tables are dropping and the minerals that remain in the mountains are being taken out, we are going to confront a crisis from which we cannot return. The people who created the crisis in the first place will not be the ones that come up with a solution.
Arundhati Roy
The American way of life is not sustainable. It doesn’t acknowledge that there is a world beyond America.
Arundhati Roy
But can we, should we, let apprehensions about the future immobilize us in the present?
Arundhati Roy
I'm not somebody who plans my life. In fact, I don't know what's going to happen here in India, it's such a strange climate here at the moment. So very worrying.
Arundhati Roy
Capitalism’s real “grave-diggers” may end up being its own delusional Cardinals, who have turned ideology into faith. Despite their strategic brilliance, they seem to have trouble grasping a simple fact: Capitalism is destroying the planet. The two old tricks that dug it out of past crises-War and Shopping-simply will not work.
Arundhati Roy
The minute what you think of as radical becomes an institutionalised, funded operation, you're in some trouble.
Arundhati Roy
Anything's possible in Human Nature ...Love. Madness. Hope. Infinite joy.
Arundhati Roy
