If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.

More quotes by Indira Gandhi
No one wanted that marriage, no one. Even Mahatma Gandhi wasn't happy about it. As for my father...it's not true that he opposed it, as people say, but he wasn't eager for it. I suppose because the fathers of only daughters would prefer to see them get married as late as possible.
Indira Gandhi
It was the very fact that no one ever imposed anything on me or tried to impose himself on the others.
Indira Gandhi
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
Have a bias toward action - let's see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
Indira Gandhi
When it's impossible, it's better to stoop to compromise, without resisting and without complaining. People who complain are selfish.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing lasts forever, and no one can predict what will happen to me in the near or distant future.
Indira Gandhi
It's the same story as when we nationalized the banks. I'm not for nationalization because of the rhetoric of nationalization, or because I see in nationalization the cure-all for every injustice. I'm for nationalization in cases where it's necessary.
Indira Gandhi
The sterilization of men is one method of birth control. The surest, most radical method. To you it seems dreadful. To me it seems that, properly applied, it's by no means dreadful.
Indira Gandhi
I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.
Indira Gandhi
I had many dolls. And you know how I played with them? By performing insurrections, assemblies, scenes of arrest. My dolls were almost never babies to be nursed but men and women who attacked barracks and ended up in prison.
Indira Gandhi
The longer one doesn't write, the more difficult it is to communicate.
Indira Gandhi
No one ever indoctrinated me.
Indira Gandhi
I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.
Indira Gandhi
If you only knew what it did to me to have lived in that house where the police were bursting in to take everyone away! I certainly didn't have a happy and serene childhood.
Indira Gandhi
People with clenched fists can not shake hands.
Indira Gandhi
The struggle for independence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that. In the Western world, on the other hand, nothing of the kind has ever happened - women have participated, yes, but revolutions have always been made by men alone.
Indira Gandhi
Until today the rights of people have always been put forward by a few individuals acting in the name of the masses. Today instead of people no longer want to be represented each wants to speak for himself and participate directly - it's the same for the Negroes, for the Jews, for women.
Indira Gandhi
You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
Indira Gandhi
When I was young, I was very selfish, now not any more.
Indira Gandhi
My father cared very much about courage, physical courage as well. He despised those who didn't have it. But he never said to me, 'I want you to be courageous.' He just smiled with pride every time I did something difficult or won a race with the boys.
