More quotes by Indira Gandhi
I assure you we'll go on making our decisions without worrying whether it pleases or displeases the Soviet Union, China, America, France, or anyone else.
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
I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
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
[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
You soon realize that the peak you've climbed was one of the lowest, that the mountain was part of a chain of mountains, that there are still so many, so many mountains to climb...And the more you climb, the more you want to climb - even though you're dead tired.
Indira Gandhi
I began to associate with Mahatma Gandhi when he came and went in our house - together with my father and mother he was on the executive committee. After independence I worked with him a lot - in the period when there were the troubles between Hindus and Muslims, he assigned me to take care of the Muslims. To protect them.
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's not right to say that my father influenced me more than others, and I wouldn't be able to say whether my personality was formed more by my father or my mother or the Mahatma [Gandhi] or the friends who were with us.
Indira Gandhi
There are only moments of happiness - from contentment to ecstacy.
Indira Gandhi
what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.
Indira Gandhi
Do you know why I won the last elections? It was because the people liked me, yes, because I had worked, yes, but also because the opposition had behaved badly toward me. And do you know why I won this war? Because my army was able to do it, yes, but also because the Americans were on the side of Pakistan.
Indira Gandhi
Even I, when I was a student in London, often wore Western clothes, and yet I'm the most Indian Indian I know.
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
The longer one doesn't write, the more difficult it is to communicate.
Indira Gandhi
Maybe I would have considered the problem if I'd met someone with whom I'd have liked to live. But I never met this someone and... No, even if I had met him, I'm sure I wouldn't have got married again. Why should I get married now that my life is so full? No, no, it's out of the question.
Indira Gandhi
My father was a saint. He was the closest thing to a saint that you can find in a normal man.
Indira Gandhi
When you look at the beginning of the actual war, it's not hard to recognize that the Pakistanis were the ones to attack.
Indira Gandhi
The India I want, I'll never tire of repeating, is a more just and less poor India, one entirely free of foreign influences. If I thought the country was already marching toward these objectives, I'd give up politics immediately and retire as prime minister.
Indira Gandhi
I'm told [ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is ambitious. I hope he's very ambitious ambition may help him see reality.
