Quotes by Vivek Pereira  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Let’s face it. There are good people and bad people everywhere. Illiteracy, poor education, wars, greed , corruption and similar factors were responsible for the problems in both India and Pakistan. Religious fanatics benefited from these factors and developed formidable socio-political strongholds in both countries.”
Vivek Pereira, Indians in Pakistan

“Was it possible that the emotion of love had somehow made me more susceptible to fear? Does the noble emotion of love make us start valuing our own lives and the lives of our loved ones more so that the feeling of fear creeps into our mindset?”
Vivek Pereira, Indians in Pakistan

“I never thought that I would be saying these words. I would rather have died than utter these words a few months ago. But my whole mindset had undergone a drastic change since then. The Amir’s speech was the straw that broke the back of my jihadi resolve. In fact, I now secretly resolved that my personal jihad would be against the evil Pakistan-sponsored jihadi movement that focused on slaughtering innocent civilians.”
Vivek Pereira, Indians in Pakistan

“Puns are the highest form of literature.”
Alfred Hitchcock

“All this simply shows us that communalism and terrorism are nothing but opposite sides of the same coin. They keep feeding on each other in a vicious cycle, resulting in a society full of violence, hatred, sorrow and intolerance. Every communal act is used as a justification for mindless acts of terrorism . Similarly , each act of terrorism is used as a justification for such horrible atrocities like genocide and ethnic cleansing. And, it is always the innocent who get killed. This is the sad truth.”
Vivek Pereira, Indians in Pakistan

“Please don’t be upset. The last thing in the world I want is to see you upset and that too with me. It’s terrifying to see your beautiful eyes turn red with anger.”
Vivek Pereira, Indians in Pakistan

“The miraculous power of love has often been underestimated just like we underestimate the power of sleep. Most of the herculean tasks performed by men were possible because they had been deeply in love and had slept well the night before.”
Vivek Pereira, Indians in Pakistan

“It is too bad that most Olympians do not train as hard as the Lashkar jihadis whose main aim in life is to kill people.”
Vivek Pereira, Indians in Pakistan
