Image
I've always discovered things for myself, in marvelous freedom.
Indira Gandhi
Image
It's not at all hard to reconcile the two things if you organize your time intelligently. Even when my sons were little, I was working.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
The fact that I have an ideology, however, doesn't mean I'm indoctrinated.
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

The struggle for independence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that. In the Western world, on the other hand, nothing of the kind has ever happened - women have participated, yes, but revolutions have always been made by men alone.

Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.
Indira Gandhi

Indira Gandhi
Image
The life I've had, the difficulties, the hardships, the pain I've suffered since I was a child. It's a great privilege to have led a difficult life, and many people in my generation have had this privilege - I sometimes wonder if young people today aren't deprived of the dramas that shaped us.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
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
Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.
Indira Gandhi
Image
It's the same story as when we nationalized the banks. I'm not for nationalization because of the rhetoric of nationalization, or because I see in nationalization the cure-all for every injustice. I'm for nationalization in cases where it's necessary.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
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
People often ask me: Who has influenced you the most? Your father? Mahatma Gandhi? Yes, my choices were fundamentally influenced by them, by the spirit of equality they infused in me - my obsession for justice comes from my father, who in turn got it from Mahatma Gandhi.

You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

You must learn to be still in the midst of activity and to be vibrantly alive in repose.
