I Learned Very Soon To Get Along

When I'm Not Governing My Country Any More, I'll Go Back To Taking Care Of Children. Or Else I'll Start Studying Anthropology - It's A Science That's Always Interested Me Very Much, Also In Relation To The Problem Of Poverty. Or Else I'll Go Back To Studying History - At Oxford I Took My Degree In History. Or Else...i Don't Know, I'm Fascinated By The Tribal Communities. I Might Busy Myself With Them.

I Refuse To Indulge In Small Talk. And Compliments, If At All, I Save For After The Job Is Done.

No One Wanted That Marriage, No One. Even Mahatma Gandhi Wasn't Happy About It. As For My Father...it's Not True That He Opposed It, As People Say, But He Wasn't Eager For It. I Suppose Because The Fathers Of Only Daughters Would Prefer To See Them Get Married As Late As Possible.

My Grandfather Once Told Me That There Were Two Kinds Of People: Those Who Do The Work And Those Who Take The Credit. He Told Me To Try To Be In The First Group; There Was Much Less Competition.

The India I Want, I'll Never Tire Of Repeating, Is A More Just And Less Poor India, One Entirely Free Of Foreign Influences. If I Thought The Country Was Already Marching Toward These Objectives, I'd Give Up Politics Immediately And Retire As Prime Minister.
