Book Quote August
Book Name: The Cost of Living
Author: Arundhati Roy
Quote: 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 of 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.

They know themselves well enough to know what they love, and they love themselves enough to fill up with a little of their particular kind of beauty each day.
