Where there is oppression, it will always be challenged by those of us who will challenge it with greater intensity, you know? So that's why I don't believe that there can ever be peace without justice, you know? The two go together. And there cannot be peace in the world with full-spectrum dominance or, you know, nuclear warfare or any of those things. They won't help, because always there will be people who demand dignity, who demand justice, who demand their rights.

Additional quotes by Arundhati Roy

Writers imagine that they cull stories from the world. I'm beginning to believe that vanity makes them think so. That it's actually the other way around. Stories cull writers from the world. Stories reveal themselves to us. The public narrative, the private narrative - they colonize us. They commission us. They insist on being told. Fiction and nonfiction are only different techniques of story telling. For reasons that I don't fully understand, fiction dances out of me, and nonfiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world I wake up to every morning.

Ammu wondered at the transparency of that kiss. It was a clear-as-glass kiss. Unclouded by passion or desire . . . . It was a kiss that demanded no kiss-back. Not a cloudy kiss full of questions that wanted answers.

وعندما نحاول ان نصغي فإن كل مانسمعه هو الهمس. ونحن لانستطيع فهم الهمس،لآن عقولنا اجتيحت بحرب.
حرب ربحناها وخسرناها.حرب هي الأسوأ على الإطلاق بين كل الحروب.حرب استولت على أحلامنا،وحلمت بها من جديد.
حرب جعلتنا نعبد غزاتنا ونكره أنفسنا
