I don't mind if my life goes in the service of the nation. If I die, every drop of my blood will invigorate the nation.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.

I like to think I've provided this faith. I also think that by providing faith, I've focused their pride. I say focused because pride isn't something you give. It doesn't even break out suddenly it's a feeling that grows very slowly, very confusedly.

Image
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group there was much less competition.

Muslim women had to go out in purdah, that heavy sheet that covers even the eyes. Hindu women had to go out in the doli, a kind of closed sedan chair like a catafalque. My mother always told me about these things with bitterness and rage.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
For me it's absolutely the same - I treat one and the other in exactly the same way. As persons, that is, not as men and women. But, even here, you have to consider the fact that I've had a very special education, that I'm the daughter of a man like my father and a woman like my mother.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You don't help a country by supporting a military regime that denies any sign of democracy, and what defeated Pakistan was its military regime.

Image
If by happiness you mean ecstasy ... Yes, I've known ecstasy, and it's a blessing to be able to say it because those who can say it are very few. But ecstasy doesn't last long and is seldom if ever repeated.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I've never understood women who, because of their children, pose as victims and don't allow themselves any other activities.
