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
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

You said, 'Planning is something for communist countries democracy and planning don't go together!' But, with all the errors we committed, our plans succeeded.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Until the day she died, my mother continued to fight for the rights of women. She joined all the women's movements of the time she stirred up a lot of revolts. She was a great woman, a great figure. Women today would like her immensely.
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.

I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.
Indira Gandhi

I always defended my father, as a child, and I think I'm still defending him - his policies at least. Oh, he wasn't at all a politician, in no sense of the word. He was sustained in his work only by a blind faith in India - he was preoccupied in such an obsessive way by the future of India. We understood each other.

Image
I had many dolls. And you know how I played with them? By performing insurrections, assemblies, scenes of arrest. My dolls were almost never babies to be nursed but men and women who attacked barracks and ended up in prison.
Indira Gandhi
Image
I always stayed married to my husband! Always, until the day he died! It's not true that we were separated!
Indira Gandhi
Image
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
Image
You found an uncle on one side and a nephew on the other, a cousin here and a cousin there. Besides it's still true today. I'll tell you something else. There was a time when even two ambassadors to Switzerland, the one from India and the one from Pakistan, were two blood brothers. Oh, the Partition imposed on us by the British was so unnatural!
Indira Gandhi
Image
[ Zulfikar Ali] Bhutto is not a very balanced man. When he talks, you never understand what he means. What does he mean this time? That he wants to be friends with us? We've wanted to be friends with him for some time I've always wanted to.

Whenever you take a step forward, you are bound to disturb something.

There are moments in history when brooding tragedy and its dark shadows can be lightened by recalling great moments of the past.
Indira Gandhi
Image
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
Image
We must protect families, we must protect children, who have inalienable rights and should be loved, should be taken care of physically and mentally, and should not be brought into the world only to suffer.

By now even the word socialism has so many meanings and interpretations. The Russians call themselves socialists, the Swedes call themselves. And let's not forget that in Germany there was also a national socialism.
