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.

Home is wherever I go.
Indira Gandhi

I don't see the world as something divided between right and left.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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

The power to question is the basis of all human progress.
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
When it's impossible, it's better to stoop to compromise, without resisting and without complaining. People who complain are selfish.

Until today the rights of people have always been put forward by a few individuals acting in the name of the masses. Today instead of people no longer want to be represented each wants to speak for himself and participate directly - it's the same for the Negroes, for the Jews, for women.

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

what is popular need not necessarily be right or wise.

I've always discovered things for myself, in marvelous freedom.

Image
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
Image
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I would like to ask a question. Would this sort of war or savage bombing which has taken place in Vietnam have been tolerated for so long, had the people been European?
Indira Gandhi
Image
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.

I'm certainly not tired - work doesn't tire people, it's getting bored that's tiring.

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.
