Swarnika’s Quotes

“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

“These scams enraged them, and from the crucible of their fury, they themselves emerged pure. They wanted corruption removed from the root, so that honest people could prosper for a change, as if they had no role to play in the shape of their lives, in the fate of their cities and their country, as if these stories of graft unfolded in black vacuum.”
― Amrita Mahale, Milk Teeth
