Arundhati Roy To love. To be loved. To never forget  your own insignificance. To never get used  to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar  disparity of life around you. To seek 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. #arundhatiroy From The Cost of Living  Modern Library, 1999. #poetryisnotaluxury
