I don't waste time in flowery small talk, as people do in India.
Indira Gandhi

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
I think I'm cold, indeed icy, hard. Then there's another reason, one that goes with my frankness: I don't put on act.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I know I'll astonish everyone by talking like this, but it's God's truth. Honors have never tempted me and I've never sought them.
Indira Gandhi
Image
It's true that I refused foreign aid. It's true. It wasn't my personal decision, however - it was the whole country that said no.
Indira Gandhi

Indira Gandhi

Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
By now even the word socialism has so many meanings and interpretations. The Russians call themselves socialists, the Swedes call themselves. And let's not forget that in Germany there was also a national socialism.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Not only Negroes and Jews, but also women are part of a great revolt of which one can only approve.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I don't see the world as something divided between right and left.
Indira Gandhi
Image
For me the only point that has remained unchanged through the years is that in India there is still so much poverty.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The doctors shrugged their shoulders and grumbled that perhaps if I were to put on weight that would protect me a little - being so thin, I would never succeed in remaining pregnant.
Indira Gandhi
Image
The Indians and Pakistanis are literally brothers.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.

To become capable, one must have faith in oneself.
