But I do not believe in any of these or other theories and assumptions as a matter of religious faith. They are just intellectual speculations in an unknown region about which we know next to nothing. They do not affect my life, and whether they were proved right or wrong subsequently, they would make little difference to me.

Additional quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru

If two men fight in the streets the policeman separates them and everybody thinks how silly they are. But how much sillier and more foolish is it for great countries to fight each other and kill thousands and millions.

பெண்மையின் லட்சிய அடையாளங்களாக சீதாவும் சாவித்ரியும் பேசப்படுகிறார்கள். ஆனால் இவர்களைப் போலவே ஸ்ரீராமனையும், சத்யவானையும் ஆண்கள் உதாரண புருஷர்களாக மதிக்க வேண்டுமென யாரும் சொன்னதாகத் தெரியவில்லை.

A country under foreign domination seeks escape from the present in dreams of a vanished age, and finds consolation in visions of past greatness. That is a foolish and dangerous pastime in which many of us indulge. An equally questionable practice for us in India is to imagine that we are still spiritually great though we have come down in the world in other respects. Spiritual or any other greatness cannot be founded on lack of freedom and opportunity, or on starvation and misery.
