“I'm a proud Indian but I feel very, very happy that people have accepted me here as well in the west. It's the people here in Britain that have given me my newfound fame here, so I owe it to them.

“The best thing about conceptual poetry is that it doesnâ€™t need to be read. You donâ€™t have to read it. As a matter of fact, you can write books, and you donâ€™t even have to read them.

Hereâ€™s a yearâ€™s worth of weather reports... and without ever having to read these things, you understand them.”

“What is the knocking? What is the knocking at the door in the night? It is somebody who wants to do us harm. No, no, it is the three strange angels. Admit them, admit them.”
“When we just saw that man, I think it was Mr. Myers, talking about how great scientists were, I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed ... that was horrifying beyond words, and that's where science in my opinion, this is just an opinion that's where science leads you.”
