Arundhati Roy: To Love...


To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.

    A little re-wording :)

    To love. To be loved. To never forget your own significance. To accept the sometimes unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in all places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect everyone. Above all, to love. To try and understand. To sometimes look away. And never, never to fail to love.
