More quotes by Indira Gandhi
Rebels and non-conformists are often the pioneers and designers of change.
Indira Gandhi
We couldn't be everywhere, we couldn't see everything, and it was inevitable that some things would escape us.
Indira Gandhi
I'm not interested in one label or the other - I'm only interested in solving certain problems, in getting where I want to go.
Indira Gandhi
I fall in love with anything I do and I always try to do it well.
Indira Gandhi
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
The old need the company of the young so that they renew their contact with life.
Indira Gandhi
In all societies that have applied a form of socialism, a certain degree of social economic equality has been achieved.
Indira Gandhi
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. Each time I stayed involved all the way in my decision, and took the consequences. Even if I was fighting for things that didn't concern India.
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.
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
[My mother] was the oldest of two sisters and two brothers, and she grew up with her brothers, who were about her age. She grew up, to the age of ten, like a wild colt, and then all of a sudden that was over. They had forced on her her 'woman's destiny' by saying, 'This isn't done, this isn't good, this isn't worthy of a lady.'
Indira Gandhi
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
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
It would seem that it was not in the interest of 'someone' for us to make progress. It was in 'someone's' interest that we be always at war, that we tear each other to pieces. Yes, I'm inclined to absolve the Pakistanis. How should they have behaved? Someone encouraged them to attack us, someone gave them weapons to attack us. And they attacked us.
Indira Gandhi
Education is a liberating force, and in our age it is also a democratizing force, cutting across the barriers of caste and class, smoothing out inequalities imposed by birth and other circumstances.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a saint. I'm not.
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
To be liberated, woman must feel free to be herself, not in rivalry to man but in the context of her own capacity and her personality.
Indira Gandhi
what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
Indira Gandhi
I grew up like a boy, also because most of the children who came to our house were boys.
Indira Gandhi
