More quotes by Arundhati Roy
If we were to lose the ability to be emotional, if we were to lose the ability to be angry, to be outraged, we would be robots. And I refuse that.
Arundhati Roy

Old. A viable die-able age.
Arundhati Roy
The Occupy movement found places where people who were feeling that anger could come and share it - and that is, as we all know, extremely important in any political movement. The Occupy sites became a way you could gauge the levels of anger and discontent.
Arundhati Roy
Non-violence is a piece of theatre. You need an audience. What can you do when you have no audience?
Arundhati Roy
Privatisation is presented as being the only alternative to an inefficient, corrupt state. In fact, it is not a choice at all... it is a mutually profitable business contract between the private company (preferably foreign) and the ruling elite of the Third World
Arundhati Roy
I think it was 50 million people across the world who marched against the war in Iraq. It was perhaps the biggest display of public morality in the world - you know, I mean, before the war happened. Before the war happened, everybody knew that they were being fed lies.
Arundhati Roy
Human beings seem unable to live without war, but they are also unable to live without love.
Arundhati Roy
Acceptance spells death to a writer.
