Aravind Adiga

See, the poor dream all their lives of getting enough to eat and looking like the rich. And what do the rich dream of? Losing weight and looking like the poor.

I was looking for the key for years
But the door was always open

The moment you recognize what is beautiful in this world, you stop being a slave.

It's amazing. The moment you show cash, everyone knows your language.

The story of a poor man's life is written on his body, in a sharp pen.

You ask 'Are you a man or a demon?' Neither, I say. I have woken up, and the rest of you are sleeping, and that is the only difference between us.

Strange thoughts brew in your heart when you spend too much time with old books.

Neither you nor I speak English, but there are some things that can be said only in English.

Let animals live like animals; let humans live like humans. That's my whole philosophy in a sentence.

A White Tiger keeps no friends. It's too dangerous.
