"Too many women, in too many countries, speak the same language, of silence."

"There is no bigger hoax than the fidelity of a man, married or otherwise."

I cannot recall the sources of either of them but remember them very distinctly. Missed writing down the names, so if you know it, do share it. And another quote, its source I do know:


"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, suffering, loss and have found a way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I did finish reading The Hungry Tide and I am hoping to write on the book sometime soon, not the extended review though, mainly because I feel incapable of doing justice to the book. It got really engaging after the half mark. Sigh.

"There is no bigger hoax than the fidelity of a man, married or otherwise." You could put a full stop after fidelity, right? :)

Parth: I think the author wanted to put things in perspective even if it came at a cost of being verbose..:).
