Arundhati Roy Quotes
At Pappachi's Funeral, Mammachi Cried And Her Contact Lenses Slid Around In Her Eyes. Ammu Told The Twins That Mammachi Was Crying More Because She Was Used To Him Than Because She Loved Him. She Was Used To Having Him Slouching Around The Pickle Factory, And Was Used To Being Beaten From Time To Time. Ammu Said That Human Beings Were Creatures Of Habit, And It Was Amazing The Kinds Of Things They Could Get Used To. You Only Had To Look Around You, Ammu Said, To See That Beatings With Brass Vases Were The Least Of Them.
