The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you’re alive and die only when you’re dead. To love. To be loved. To never forget you own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To see 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.
—Arundhari Roy
