"It has always seemed to me that if one falls in love with any gentleman one becomes instantly blind to his faults.But I am not blind to your faults, and I do not think that everything you do or say is right! Onlyâ€”Is it beingâ€”not very comfortableâ€”and crossâ€”and not quite happy, when you arenâ€™t there?â€ â€œThat, my darling,â€ said his lordship,taking her ruthlessly into his arms,â€œis exactly what it s!â€ â€œOhâ€”!â€ Frederica gasped, as she emerged from an embrace which threatened to suffocate her. â€œNow I know! I am in love!"

“Though it's a film about cross-border love, there isn't a word of politics in it. Forget politics, there isn't slap, not even a raised voice in Veer-Zaara(2004). It's a very intense, humane and emotional story. Veer-Zaara (2004) is a humble tribute to my home in Punjab. It's my tribute to the one-ness of people on both sides of the border. Every religion preaches peace. Then why the bloodshed for the sake of religion? Why are we destroying each other?.”

“My government currently runs things only because the people 'allow' them to run things. It is my responsibility that I do everything I can to keep tabs on my government, keep them honest and make sure that they always act for the good of the people. They must be reminded that they hold no power over the people that the people do not wish for them to hold. If the government begins working in a way that the people don't agree with, they must be made to know that we will rip it to its very foundations and replace it with something that does.”
“A life without fighting is a dead sea in the universal organism.”
