I can't take it seriously when people get excited and scream that religion is in danger, and similar stupidities.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The life I've had, the difficulties, the hardships, the pain I've suffered since I was a child. It's a great privilege to have led a difficult life, and many people in my generation have had this privilege - I sometimes wonder if young people today aren't deprived of the dramas that shaped us.

The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi

In India people can't stomach this attitude of mine, and when I say, 'Hurry up, let's get to the point,' they feel hurt.
Indira Gandhi
Image

Whether when I was a child and fought the British in the Monkey brigade, or when I was a girl and wanted to have children, or when I was a woman and devoted myself to my father, making my husband angry.

Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
Indira Gandhi

I suspected [Richard Nixon] was very pro-Pakistan. Or rather I knew that the Americans had always been in favor of Pakistan - not so much because they were in favor of Pakistan, but because they were against India.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.
Indira Gandhi
Image
It depends on what you mean by the word religion. Certainly I don't go to temples and pray to the gods or anything like that.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Just when you think you've achieved something, you realize you've achieved nothing. And still you have to go forward just the same - toward a dream so distant that your road has neither beginning nor end.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.
Indira Gandhi
Image
People with clenched fists can not shake hands.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Sometimes we hurt one another without realizing it.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
Indira Gandhi
Image
I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
