Avijeet Das
His lines had been honed over centuries, passed down through generations, for poor people needed certain lines; the script was always the same, and they had no option but to beg for mercy.
Kiran Desai
We must arm ourselves with patience and wisdom and listen to the poor what they want. This is the best way to avoid the trap of ignorance, ideology and inertia on our side.
Abhijit V. Banerjee
You can find Calcutta anywhere in the world. You only need two eyes to see. Everywhere in the world there are people that are not loved, people that are not wanted nor desired, people that no one will help, people that are pushed away or forgotten. And this is the greatest poverty.
Mother Teresa
The Rooster Coop was doing its work. Servants have to keep other servants from becoming innovators, experimenters or entrepreneurs. The coop is guarded from the inside.
Aravind Adiga
Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.
Mother Teresa
A beautiful death is for people who lived like animals to die like angels—loved and wanted.
Mother Teresa
But then it is easy, too easy, to sermonize about the dangers of paternalism and the need to take responsibility for our own lives, from the comfort of our couch in our safe and sanitary home. Aren't we, those who live in the rich world, the constant beneficiaries of a paternalism now so thoroughly embedded into the system that we hardly notice it?
Abhijit V. Banerjee
Before I was married, I thought the sound of bangles jangling on my forearms would be delightful. I looked forward to being able to wear bells around my ankles and silver necklaces around my neck, but not any more, not since I had learned what they represented for the man who gave them. A necklace was no prettier than a piece of of rope that ties a goat to a tree, depriving it of freedom.
Phoolan Devi
The more you have, the more you are occupied, the less you give. But the less you have the more free you are. Poverty for us is a freedom. It is not mortification, a penance. It is joyful freedom. There is no television here, no this, no that. But we are perfectly happy.
Mother Teresa
The existence of poverty is the proof of an unjust and ill-organised society, and our public charities are but the first tardy awakening in the conscience of a robber.
Sri Aurobindo
She was not granted the luxury of forgetting her lower middle-class existence where life hangs by an unseen thread to every hope and where every slash of disappointment shrinks the life further.
Madhu Vajpayee
Yes, we have to seek redemption! Redemption from the divisive politics based on caste and religion, redemption from the corruption which is eating our lives like termites, redemption from misery of poverty, redemption from the sins of our venal politicians. We need good governance and accountability. An individual has to fight for the things he rightfully deserves. People do not need crutches of any kind if the basic conditions of nation are conducive to their growth. It’s ridiculous; people are first deprived of basic amenities, denied their dues and then offered carrots to benefit the vote bank politics.
Madhu Vajpayee
When you hear her say,'What else can an old woman doon hills as wretched as these?'You look right at the sky,Clear through the bullet holes she has for eyes.And you look onthe cracks that begin around her eyesspread beyond her skinAnd the hills crack.And the temples crack.And the sky falls with a plateglass clatter around the shatter proof cronewho stands alone.And you are reducedto so much small changein her hand.
Arun Kolatkar
The government belongs to the poor people of the country. We are custodian of people's hope. For whom should the government be? For educated people or few others. Government should be for the poor. If rich want to educate their children, they can send anywhere. If rich fall ill, hundreds of doctors are at service. So the foremost responsibility of the government should be to listen to the poor and work for them. If we do not work for the poor, the people will never pardon us.
Narendra Modi
We won't let poverty kill educational access & opportunities. We'll kill poverty through education.
Sharad Vivek Sagar
Poverty becomes a marvellously beautiful thing when the mindis free of society. One must become poor inwardly for then there isno seeking, no asking, no desire, no - nothing! It is only this inwardpoverty that can see the truth of a life in which there is no conflict at all
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Nothing awakens the conscience like a lot of money.
P.Sainath
The fastest and cheapest way to eradicate poverty is not by giving food but by giving hope, love, and education.
Debasish Mridha
I see a role for specialized knowledge, but I think that it's important for there to be an arena where it is shared, where it is communicated. It's not that somebody shouldn't have specialized knowledge. The ability to dig a trench and lay a cable is a kind of specialized knowledge. Farmers have specialized knowledge, too. The question is: what sort of knowledge is privileged in our societies? I don't think that a CEO is more valuable to society and ought to be paid ten million dollars a year, while farmers and laborers starve.The range of what is valued has become so extreme that one lot of people have captured it and left three-quarters of the world to live in unthinkable poverty, because their work is not valued. What would happen if the sweepers of the city went on strike or the sewage system didn't work? A CEO wouldn't be able to deal with his own shit.
Arundhati Roy
The poor stay poor here because they do not save enough.
Abhijit V. Banerjee
Only education, self-respect and rational qualities will uplift the down-trodden.
Periyar E.V. Ramasamy
By helping the poor, we must be able to remove their poverty. By extending help to one here and one there in the form of providing food will not remove poverty.
Periyar E.V. Ramasamy
How agonized we are by how people die. How unconcerned we are by how they live.
P.Sainath
When you have no choice, you have no discontent either.
Vivek Shanbhag
And you spend your day going around from the house of the washerman to the house of the sweeper, asking about this one's son and that one's nephew, but spending no time with your own family. It is no secret that many people here think that you are a communist.'Rasheed reflected that this probably meant only that he loathed the poverty and injustice endemic to the village, and that he made no particular secret of it.
Vikram Seth
it seemed that the pain of their physical illness at times was less than the misery of their poverty ridden existence, the unending wait in the queues and the feeling of hopelessness and abandonment by your own system was enough to rob them of their will power to fight any disease.
Madhu Vajpayee
I decided I would go with them, but it would be at my father's house that I would eat. I would share his food, and his poverty.
Phoolan Devi
As usual, in every scheme that worsens the position of the poor, it is the poor who are invoked as beneficiaries.
Vandana Shiva
Poverty is the worst form of violence.
Mahatma Gandhi
Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.
Mother Teresa
Life is like coffee, the darker it gets, the more it energizes.
Ankita Singhal
The moment passed — but the darkness is so dark, and the pain is so painful. – But I accept whatever He gives and I give whatever He takes.
Mother Teresa
Her dark world was bright because of her sparkling attitude!
Archana Chaurasia Kapoor
Darkness is a place that encourages us to seek light.
Debasish Mridha
Remember, you are the light of love in the darkness.
Debasish Mridha
Sometimes in the quest of searching the stars in others eyes, we fall into the never ending pit of darkness.
Akshay Vasu
The darkness you are in, is to make you feel the warmth of light that you aspire for.
Damini Aggarwal
Writing on dark themes is not as easy as one might think; you have to live the worst and the most terrifying nightmares, again and again, till they consume you entirely and become an inseparable part of you that you start dreading.
Heena Rathore P.
Beauty lies in the LIES of the beholder!
Ashok Kallarakkal
Most beauty lies in the LIES of the beholder!
Ashok Kallarakkal
My life is a plate of perfectly edible but ordinary scrambled eggs. I want them savory, creamy, cheesy and maybe with bacon on the side.
Varsha Bajaj
She would seize every opportunity to dive into the bathroom, in a swirl of white towels, and once in there she was as hard to dislodge as a limpet from a rock.
Gerald Durrell
We’re animals, primates to be precise,” I pointed out. “Games are role playing from our hunter gatherer days.”“That's nothing to be proud of,” he said, in a fair imitation of Papa's manner.
Ritu Lalit
Overflowing with the milk of human kindness, the family had invited everyone they could think of, including people they cordially disliked.
Gerald Durrell
There is no point in housing troubles inside your underwear if you can’t solve them by yourself.
Pawan Mishra
Is that the biggest favor your vocal cords have done to anyone this week?
Pawan Mishra
The obvious matters are more imperceptible today.
Pawan Mishra
I may just be on the outskirts of being okay.
Pawan Mishra
It’s not the obviousness or the complexity of the things that’s deftly deluding mankind. It’s man himself.
Pawan Mishra
What is serious in laughing, worrying, grieving, mourning, concerning about anything which is temporary? Well, it is funny, actually, when you know life isn't immortal.
Bhavik Sarkhedi
She leaned back, closing her eyes and blowing out a thin wisp of smoke. “He was always a good-looking man. Your eyes are from him, the same blue, but you are slimmer of build and have your grandmother’s exotic face rather than his rounder, friendly one. He was a bit of a bounder, as men of his looks are apt to be.”I grinned at this, adding to my mental picture.“He married as often as…” she blinked, laughed, “well, as often as I did, I suppose, though my reasons were infinitely better.
Angela Misri
