Favorite Jerry Pinto Quotes

1. "Love is never enough. Madness is enough. It is complete, sufficient unto itself. You can only stand outside it as a woman might stand outside a prison in which her lover is locked up. From time to time, a well-loved face will peer out and love floods back. A scrap of cloth flutters and it becomes a sign and a code and a message and all that you want it to be. Then it vanishes and you are outside the dark tower again." ~ Jerry Pinto
2. "We began our hospital visits: one day Susan, one day me, everyday The Big Hoom. On one of these visits, she told me about the tap that opened at my birth and the lack drip filling her up, and it tore a hole in my heart. If this was what she could manage with a single sentence, what did thirsty years of marriage do to The Big Hoom?" ~ Jerry Pinto
3. "A well-told lie can heal. Otherwise, what's fiction?" ~ Jerry Pinto
4. "Fight your genes.' The Big Hoom said to us once, to Susan and me. He did not explain. He did not know how to. But we knew what it meant. It meant that we were to march into the hall and take out our school books and reproduce the slipper-shaped animalcule whose psuedopodia power it through a world without feeling; to learn how to inscribe a hexagon into a circle without tearing the paper; to assimilate the causes and consequences of the battle of Panipat without ever identifying your own enemy because that would be mean identifying yourself.'Fight your genes'. Focus. Be diligent. Concentrate. Do" ~ Jerry Pinto
5. "In this city, every deserted street corner conceals a crowd. It appears in a minute when something disrupts the way in which the world is supposed to work. It can disappear almost as instantaneously." ~ Jerry Pinto
6. "Took myself to Byculla. The area around the elephants is very soothing. I wish I were an elephant. I would be so composed." ~ Jerry Pinto
7. "On the balcony of our small flat in a city of small flats." ~ Jerry Pinto
8. "One day I told him about the boys of the neighborhood, about their mocking.He said, "That's because they don't understand.""They should understand, I said. I didn't want to cry, but I was crying."If your mother had diabetes, what would they say?""I don't know.""This is like diabetes. She's not well. That's all."Was that what he told himself? That she was not well? That she might get better? I don't know." ~ Jerry Pinto
9. "That's what comes of this celibacy business. We confess to men who've never had to worry about a family. Naturally, it's a huge sin to them, this abortion business. What do they know? They probably think it's fun and games. Let them try it." ~ Jerry Pinto
10. "I wasn't sure I would ever be able to deal with the world. It seemed too big and demanding and there was no fixed syllabus." ~ Jerry Pinto
11. "She was in ward 33 again, lying in bed, a bed with a dark green sheet and a view of the outside. We could both see a man and woman getting out of a taxi. They were young and stood for a while, as if hesitating, in front of the hospital. Then the man took the woman's hand and they walked into the hospital and we lost them.‘That's why Indian women fall ill,' Em said. ‘So that their husbands will hold their hands." ~ Jerry Pinto
12. "Marriage is all right. At least the person you're having a go at is an adult. But motherhood… You're given something totally dependent, totally in love with you and it doesn't seem to come with a manual." ~ Jerry Pinto
13. "I am no I. I am now part of a we." ~ Jerry Pinto
14. "Love is a hollow word which seems at home in song lyrics and greeting cards, until you fall in love and discover it's disconcerting power. Depression means nothing more than the blues, commercially packaged angst, a hole in the ground; until you find it's black weight settled inside your mother's chest, disrupting her breathing, leaching her days, and yours, of colour and the nights of rest." ~ Jerry Pinto
15. "Home was where others had to gather grace. Home was what I wanted to flee." ~ Jerry Pinto
