Nepal Quotes By Jeffrey Rasley

Chasing angels or fleeing demons, go to the mountains. — Jeffrey Rasley

Nepal Quotes By Santosh Kalwar

If Nepal is to become a new Nepal, she must first become free from ethnic segregation. — Santosh Kalwar

Nepal Quotes By Nicholas D. Kristof

Teaching in a village school in Nepal was a freaking piece of cake compared to teaching in my native land. — Nicholas D. Kristof

Nepal Quotes By Louise Brown

I'm working on a nonfiction book on Nepal and a novel about diasporas. — Louise Brown

Nepal Quotes By Al Stewart

Do you remember the church across the sands? You stood outside and planned to travel the lands, where the pilgrims go. So you packed your world up inside a canvas sack, set off down the highway with your rings and Kerouac. Someone said they saw you in Nepal a long time back. Tell me why you look away, don't you have a word to say? — Al Stewart

Nepal Quotes By Joe Niemczura

That night, Sushila went to the puja room when she arrived home. Her house was small, with only a few rooms, but there had always been a puja room as long as she could remember. It was in the northeast corner of the house, and Sushila once asked her mother why they did not have a fancier bigger puja room.
"We are small people and we will be happy with small gods. It is not the size of the space used for worship that matters," said her mother. "It is the size of your heart that matters. You can learn the lessons of Buddha and the Goddess in a prison, you do not need even this humble puja room. There are people in this town who are happy with much less than what we have. — Joe Niemczura

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

Blood-coloured bottlebrush trees and scarlet hibiscus looked too bright for this devastated world. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Kailash Kher

Nepal is a beautiful country with a lot of holy places. I also like the country because it's close to the Himalayas. According to Hindu mythology, that's the abode of Lord Shiva. — Kailash Kher

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

Major Chhetri's pronouncement when we'd first arrived in Nepal came echoing back: Things that start in the rain end well. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Joe Niemczura

She knew the old rule about crowd events in Nepal. If it was a religious event, those with the most fervor would be at the center of the crowd, and to take in the flavor of the event, you wished to get closest to that group; but if it was a political event or a bandh, locate the group with the most fervor and get as far away from them as you possibly can. — Joe Niemczura

Nepal Quotes By Binod Chaudhary

Yes, we can do business in Nepal and still succeed. That is what I proved. — Binod Chaudhary

Nepal Quotes By Richard Ernst

A brief visit to Nepal started my insatiable love for Asian art. — Richard Ernst

Nepal Quotes By Tsering Wangmo Dhompa

I have lived my life defined as a refugee in Nepal and India, a resident alien and immigrant in the United States. At last, I am a Tibetan in Tibet, a Khampa in Kham, albeit as a tourist in my occupied and tethered country. — Tsering Wangmo Dhompa

Nepal Quotes By Tsering Wangmo Dhompa

Home, to me, was any place by my mother's side. Since my mother's death, the idea of home has assumed many forms. I use the word loosely to refer to India, Nepal and even Tibet when I am in San Francisco. Home is a place that is always imminent but never present. Or maybe it is the very opposite, maybe I am at ease whenever I am and the feeling of not belonging to any one place is a condition of being at home. — Tsering Wangmo Dhompa

Nepal Quotes By Yuval Noah Harari

Today in Nepal, devotees of the goddess Gadhimai celebrate her festival every five years in the village of Bariyapur. A record was set in 2009 when 250,000 animals were sacrificed to the goddess. A local driver explained to a visiting British journalist that 'If we want anything, and we come here with an offering to the goddess, within five years all our dreams will be fulfilled.'26 — Yuval Noah Harari

Nepal Quotes By Tsering Wangmo Dhompa

As a displaced community, Tibetans often speak of learning to look to the future without forsaking tradition. And as Tibetans continue their flight from Tibet to India or Nepal and then scatter farther and farther away from the physical land of Tibet, the conversations on identity and culture become more crucial and complex. As the distance increases so does the desperation in keeping Tibet as the eventual home, our aspired home. Yet it is the loss of Tibet and its very distance that also awakens us to view patriotism and identity in new ways that are not guided solely by Buddhist philosophy. Self-assertion- an approach avoided in the past because of the Buddhist aspiration to prevent focus on the self- enters our identity as Tibetans. — Tsering Wangmo Dhompa

Nepal Quotes By Tamae Watanabe

I have climbed Everest from the Nepal route and the China route. The other routes are too hard for me. So I don't think I can climb Everest again. — Tamae Watanabe

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

We found a smooth inviting boulder under a vast banyan tree, and sat in companionable silence. There unexpectedly, on that rock, I saw the secret of contentment. True happiness is only ever possible if you have been unhappy. And there, at that moment, I couldn't remember the last time I had felt so peaceful. It wouldn't have been possible for me to take in any more happiness.
Moti turned to me and smiled as if she knew. I realised then that this moment and this wonderful feeling would sustain me for a long, long time. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Pankaj Mishra

Contrary to the general picture of the decline of Asia and the rise of the West, the Chinese economy was buoyant in the eighteenth century, developing its own local variations and with trade links across Southeast Asia. Silk, porcelain and tea from China continued to be in great demand in Europe (and in the American colonies) even though in 1760 the Chinese confined all Western traders to the port city of Canton. Tribute-paying neighbours as near as Burma, Nepal and Vietnam (and as far away as Java) upheld Beijing's solipsistic view that the Chinese emperor, presiding over the central kingdom of the world, had the right to rule 'all under heaven. — Pankaj Mishra

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

A small, light object landed on my head. I looked around. Another small something hit me. I looked up. After a third thing hit me, I untangled a couple of deer droppings from my hair. It was spotted deer poop. I must be one of the only kids on the planet to recognise the sultana-like pellets of hares and deer and the boulders left by elephant and rhino. I heard a cackle behind me and turned to receive a handful of deer pellets full in the face. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Hanya Yanagihara

The term 'pashmina' is often used interchangeably with 'cashmere,' but in reality, pashmina is a specific type of very fine, lofty cashmere, woven from a specific type of goat - one indigenous to northern India, Nepal, and Pakistan, and harvested and woven there as well. — Hanya Yanagihara

Nepal Quotes By Suraj Dahal

You can take a my body out of Nepal but you can never take my soul and Heart from a Nepal . — Suraj Dahal

Nepal Quotes By Michael Shermer

Today, the witch theory of causality has fallen into disuse, with the exception of a few isolated pockets in Papua New Guinea, India, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, Tanzania, Kenya, or Sierra Leone, where "witches" are still burned to death. A 2002 World Health Organization study, for example, reported that every year more than 500 elderly women in Tanzania alone are killed for being "witches." In Nigeria, children by the thousands are being rounded up and torched as "witches," and in response the Nigerian government arrested a self-styled bishop named Okon Williams, who it accused of killing 110 such children. — Michael Shermer

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

The Chinese say that there is no scenery in your home town. They're right. Being in another place heightens the senses, allows you to see more, enjoy more, take delight in small things; it makes life richer. You feel more alive, less cocooned. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Sushil Koirala

Nepal will be a secular state - there is no other way. — Sushil Koirala

Nepal Quotes By Narendra Modi

India wants to help Nepal build highways (H), information highways (I) and transways - transmission lines (T). — Narendra Modi

Nepal Quotes By Irene Khan

The United States has been ambiguous on the current situation in Nepal. They have not actually come out very strongly in terms of pushing the king to take measures on the detentions or abuses by the army. China continues to provide military equipment. — Irene Khan

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

I like the way Nepalis point by pouting their lips; they reckon pointing with a finger is rude. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Narendra Modi

Not only the people of Nepal but also those who believe in the power of democracy are looking at Nepal and this assembly. — Narendra Modi

Nepal Quotes By Dipesh Nepal

Never say you can't be a writer or a script writer, remember how well, characters in your dreams said their dialogues. — Dipesh Nepal

Nepal Quotes By Narendra Modi

Our nations are so close yet such a visit took 17 years. This will change & we will strengthen India-Nepal ties. — Narendra Modi

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

In Nepal, the quality of conversation is much more important than accuracy of the content. Maybe we get overexcited about information in England? — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

A smile costs less than electricity, but gives more light than it! — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Andrew James Pritchard

Just then, Larry recalled a conversation he had with a friend in Ireland, about the situation in Nepal between the King and the Maoists. The friend was sided with the Maoists, which was more or less his political leanings in any case, and stated that at least they were trying to help the people. So Larry had remarked upon the rising death rate, and how the Maoists are just as brutal as the security forces, yet the friend simply shrugged and said you have to expect some collateral damage in a revolution.
Oh how he hates that phrase, as that makes it sound like the people's lives are meant to be expendable, something that a person's life should never be. Of course, it is very easy to disregard people you have never met, and who are certainly not your friends or family members. After all, in the eyes of an outsider, who is in no danger whatsoever, the people caught up in the situation are nothing more than simply statistics. — Andrew James Pritchard

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

Morning mists skulked over the river. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Prabal Gurung

I was in Nepal and I had watched Oprah Winfrey's show. I had no idea, as a kid in Nepal, who she was, but I remember watching an episode of hers about living your dreams. — Prabal Gurung

Nepal Quotes By Jon Krakauer

Straddling the top of the world, one foot in China and the other in Nepal, I cleared the ice from my oxygen mask, hunched a shoulder against the wind, and stared absently down at the vastness of Tibet. — Jon Krakauer

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

Three mongooses, playing chase, burst out of the undergrowth and came galumphing across the track. The leader stopped and the other two bounced on him. There was a crazy bundle of squealing fur, ears, noses and tails. The mongooses broke apart. All three stood up on hind legs to look at us. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Basu Regmi Nepal

There is no God, but we whole world can creat (God) by loving & helping eachothers ! — Basu Regmi Nepal

Nepal Quotes By David Attenborough

I've been to Nepal, but I'd like to go to Tibet. It must be a wonderful place to go. I don't think there's anything there, but it would be a nice place to visit. — David Attenborough

Nepal Quotes By Adam Mansbach

A holiday vacation can mean sampling all kinds of new cuisine - whether it's Uncle Joe's award-winning chili or the exotic flavors of Nepal. If your little ones are fussy, be sure to ease mealtime hassles by bringing along a supply of the familiar foods they're accustomed to rejecting at home. — Adam Mansbach

Nepal Quotes By John Updike

Neutrinos, they are very small.
They have no charge and have no mass
And do not interact at all.
The earth is just a silly ball
To them, through which they simply pass,
Like dustmaids down a drafty hall
Or photons through a sheet of glass.
They snub the most exquisite gas,
Ignore the most substantial wall,
Cold shoulder steel and sounding brass,
Insult the stallion in his stall,
And, scorning barriers of class,
Infiltrate you and me. Like tall
And painless guillotines they fall
Down through our heads into the grass.
At night, they enter at Nepal
And pierce the lover and his lass
From underneath the bed - you call
It wonderful; I call it crass. — John Updike

Nepal Quotes By Tsering Wangmo Dhompa

The flowers in Tibet were always taller, more fragrant and vivid. Her descriptions, imprecise but unchanging from year to year lead me to an inevitable acceptance that her past was unequaled by our present lives. She would tell me of knee-deep fields of purple, red and white- plants never named or pointed out to during our years in India and Nepal- that over time served to create an idea of her fatherland, phayul, as a riotous garden. I pictured her wilderness paradise by comparing them not to the marigolds, daises or bluebells I crushed with my fingers, but to the shape of household artefacts around me: lollipop, broom, bottle. Disparate objects that surrendered to and influenced the idea, space and hope of a more abundant and happy place. — Tsering Wangmo Dhompa

Nepal Quotes By Jeffrey Rasley

He wasn't a great man, but he had a great life. — Jeffrey Rasley

Nepal Quotes By Pico Iyer

Bhutan all but bases its identity upon its loneliness, and its refusal to b assimilated into India, or Tibet, or Nepal. Vietnam, at present, is a pretty girl with her face pressed up against the window of the dance hall, waiting to be invited in; Iceland is the mystic poet in the corner, with her mind on other things. Argentina longs to be part of the world it left and, in its absence, re-creates the place it feels should be its home; Paraguay simply slams the door and puts up a Do Not Disturb sign. Loneliness and solitude, remoteness and seclusion, are many worlds apart. — Pico Iyer

Nepal Quotes By Andrew James Pritchard

I enjoy load shedding in Nepal, when it allows me to witness the dancing of fireflies in the next field, and at the same time to hear children playing a chanting clapping game because there is no TV to waste their time on. — Andrew James Pritchard

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

I reckon that blaming people fixes nothing. You're the only person who is going to sort you out. No-one else really can - or really cares, enough. That's what Nepalis know - better than anyone. That's our Western disease. Don't take responsibility. Take on a lawyer! — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Adam Braun

Each of the bracelets I wear is from a long trip I've taken. One is from Nicaragua. One is from Nepal. One is from Guatemala. One is from Laos. They don't come off. I walk into a lot of very high-level boardrooms now, and I present to distinguished conferences, but these bracelets remind me of the places I've been and the people I've met. — Adam Braun

Nepal Quotes By Narendra Modi

The India-Nepal border should not be a barrier but a bridge which helps bring prosperity to both sides. — Narendra Modi

Nepal Quotes By V.S. Naipaul

We made no inquiries about India or about the families people had left behind. When our ways of thinking had changed, and we wished to know, it was too late. I know nothing of the people on my father's side; I know only that some of them came from Nepal. — V.S. Naipaul

Nepal Quotes By Jeff Greenwald

In Nepal, the phenomenon is reversed. Time is a stick of incense that burns without being consumed. One day can seem like a week; a week, like months. Mornings stretch out and crack their spines with the yogic impassivity of house cats. Afternoons bulge with a succulent ripeness, like fat peaches. There is time enough to do everything - write a letter, eat breakfast, read the paper, visit a shrine or two, listen to the birds, bicycle downtown to change money, buy postcards, shop for Buddhas - and arrive home in time for lunch. — Jeff Greenwald

Nepal Quotes By Christopher Abts

Most people would not attempt to climb Mount Everest on their own. Typically, climbers will look toward Sherpas, who have served as guides for generations in Nepal, high in the Himalayas. They help climbers prepare and show them along the routes that will get them to the top. They are seasoned and know every details of the trails. But your guide is even more essentail if you are to make it back down safely. Coming down the mountain can be the most perilous part. You're tired. Your defenses are down. You may very well fall at the critical moment. You need that guide. As you approach retirement, you are moving to a different phase of life. You are descending the mountain. — Christopher Abts

Nepal Quotes By Jasmine Guinness

I always dreamt that I would marry in the Piazza Del Campo in Siena and go on my honeymoon down the Amazon, up the Nile, on a gallop through the pyramids, to Nepal and Kerala, on a safari and finally to Lake Titicaca in Peru. — Jasmine Guinness

Nepal Quotes By Kudrat Dutta Chaudhary

But whenever tragedy strikes, one is left either to die or with a plethora of ifs and buts to ponder over. — Kudrat Dutta Chaudhary

Nepal Quotes By Conor Grennan

If walking into the responsibility of caring for eighteen children was difficult, walking out on that responsibility was almost impossible. The children had become a constant presence, little spinning tops that splattered joy onto everyone they bumped into. — Conor Grennan

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

Wherever there was a scrap of soil amongst the ravaged crags, emaciated trees struggled to cling on: a poignant metaphor for the way so many Nepalis eke out an existence, defiantly surviving on less than nothing. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Jennifer S. Alderson

Meandering cows, tenacious bicyclers, belching taxis, rickshaws, fearless pedestrians and the occasional mobile 'cigarette and sweets' stand all fought our taxi for room on the narrow two-lane road turned local byway. — Jennifer S. Alderson

Nepal Quotes By Serinda Swan

As part of my Christmas present I'd be giving chickens to a family in Nepal through the Heifer Foundation. I think they expanded my world when I was young to know sort of the other issues that were going on globally. — Serinda Swan

Nepal Quotes By Andrew James Pritchard

Monsoon Love is a love story with a few comic twists. The idea for this story came to me when I went into the local town of Pokhara with a friend to buy his son a birthday present. We had just arrived at the shops when a heavy down pour began, and as we had arrived on his motorbike and didn't have raincoats or umbrellas so we had to wait for the rain to stop. We were standing under a awning watching the street while we waited, and I noticed this very beautiful young woman walk past me dressed in a t-shirt and jeans with the cuffs rolled half up her legs, but the way she held her umbrella made it impossible to see her face, though with the nice body she had her face must have been just as lovely. Then I though, imagine some guy stuck working in an office, and seeing a view like that every day of the same woman, and falling in love with her despite not seeing her face. — Andrew James Pritchard

Nepal Quotes By Kudrat Dutta Chaudhary

It is hard to write it in words that I can read, that re-establishes the fact that has been haunting me for the past one year. — Kudrat Dutta Chaudhary

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

I think of the irony that in our language [Nepali] the word for love can also mean deceit. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Walter Williams

Maybe your college professor taught that the legacy of colonialism explains Third World poverty. That's nonsense as well. Canada was a colony. So were Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. In fact, the richest country in the world, the United States, was once a colony. By contrast, Ethiopia, Liberia, Tibet, Sikkim, Nepal and Bhutan were never colonies, but they are home to the world's poorest people. — Walter Williams

Nepal Quotes By Joe Niemczura

You bring fresh eyes, Matt. For us, something crazy may happen, and we all say 'Oh my' at the time, but the next week some new crazy thing happens that wipes the memory clean. And we go on to the next. La-di-da. I guess we just forgot about that other incident until now.
- spoken by Sara, the missionary doctor, to Matt.
(from The Sacrament of the Goddess, 2014) — Joe Niemczura

Nepal Quotes By Amy Zhang

I could understand a world where she was in Nepal, though I couldn't figure out why she didn't text me back. I could understand a world where she was distant but not lost. I couldn't understand a world without her. — Amy Zhang

Nepal Quotes By Jennifer S. Alderson

I ended up in the back seat of a chicken truck's cab heading through beautiful scenery and disastrous roads to my hotel. About an hour later, we stopped to sell a few hundred of the chickens to a butcher shop. — Jennifer S. Alderson

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

... everything was fresh, green and particularly beautiful. Afternoon light, filtering between remnants of monsoon clouds, picked out gullies and spot-lit patches of forest and scrub on the convoluted ridges of the rim of the Kathmandu Valley. Or, after a rainstorm, wisps of clouds clung to the trees as if scared to let go. Behind, himals peeked out shyly between the clouds. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Chelsea Handler

She was a hippie teacher who worked in the Peace Corps in Nepal and had hairy underarms. Fucking gross. And that's just concerning the Peace Corps. Brad Wollack — Chelsea Handler

Nepal Quotes By Jeff Rasley

Beliefs divide us; values unite us." Godless - Living a Valuable Life beyond Beliefs. — Jeff Rasley

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

the Lord Ratnasambhava keeps all his treasure inside mongooses. When the god needs his gems and jewels, he squeezes one mongoose and makes it vomit them up! — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Joe Niemczura

Boston is a great center of learning. That surgeon was a tantric Buddha," said Ram in admiration, "The smell of cautery is the finest incense. It sharpens the mind. — Joe Niemczura

Nepal Quotes By Patti Smith

My daughter is one of my greatest inspirations. She's an environmentalist, she plays piano, she's raising money for the earthquake victims in Nepal. Every day she surprises me and teaches me something. — Patti Smith

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

The mountains were so wild and so stark and so very beautiful that I wanted to cry. I breathed in another wonderful moment to keep safe in my heart. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Narendra Modi

India's role is not to interfere in what Nepal does but to support Nepal in their development. Nepal should scale new heights of progress. — Narendra Modi

Nepal Quotes By Joe Niemczura

Exactly. I think the original tantric Buddhists took notice of was some very wise old people who never studied in their youth, but took part in a range of risk-taking adventures when they were younger, and finally became wise when they reflected upon their lives in old age. There is only one problem."
"Which is?"
"Risk-taking is a way to die young. It is dangerous and you may forfeit the opportunity to grow old. An early death is not a sure path to wisdom in old age," Ranjit said, running his finger around the inside of the pipe bowl, "and if you survive without reflecting, then you simply become an old degenerate. — Joe Niemczura

Nepal Quotes By Dor Bahadur Bista

People who have made comparative studies of many different societies, know that when status is ascribed, rather than achieved, individual efforts towards excellence are not directed through any form of innovation; rather, the enhancement of status occurs only through the realisation of a previously well defined role position. It is only with social change, or when some form of continual dynamic disequilibium occurs in a society, that we begin to observe the development of achievement motivation in its modern form. — Dor Bahadur Bista

Nepal Quotes By Dave Eggers

I think you think that sitting at your desk, frowning and smiling somehow makes you think you're actually living some fascinating life. You comment on things, and that substitutes for doing them. You look at pictures of Nepal, push a smile button, and you think that's the same as going there. I mean, what would happen if you actually went? Your CircleJerk ratings or whatever-the-fuck would drop below an acceptable level! Mae, do you realize how incredibly boring you've become? — Dave Eggers

Nepal Quotes By Irene Khan

It would be easy for this conflict to slip off the political agenda given how long it has been going on but for the sake of the people of Nepal for whom it is a daily tragic reality, the world must remain engaged and keep up the pressure on the government and the Maoists. — Irene Khan

Nepal Quotes By Michelle Yeoh

Raising awareness for Nepal was and still is an important role for me. — Michelle Yeoh

Nepal Quotes By Dave Eggers

You look at pictures of Nepal, push a smile button, and you think that's the same as going there. — Dave Eggers

Nepal Quotes By Kenna

It's a real misconception that water is a problem in Africa only. It's also an issue in Nepal, in Honduras, and in the United States of America. If we don't start paying attention now and curb our use and stop taking it for granted, we're going to be in a bad place, like everyone else. — Kenna

Nepal Quotes By Dan Thompson

Travel is the discovery of truth; an affirmation of the promise that human kind is far more beautiful than it is flawed. With each trip comes a new optimism that where there is despair and hardship, there are ideas and people just waiting to be energized, to be empowered, to make a difference for good. — Dan Thompson

Nepal Quotes By Joe Niemczura

Close your eyes, Matt, and focus on third eye, the second chakra of your being. Open third eye and you will feel energy of other river as it flows. And energy of Goddess.
He closed his eyes. He could sense the energy of the woman next to him and the power of desire. He felt warmth and a sense of belonging here. But that was all. — Joe Niemczura

Nepal Quotes By Nicholas D. Kristof

The implicit social contract is that upper-class girls will keep their virtue, while young men will find satisfaction in the brothels. And the brothels will be staffed with slave girls trafficked from Nepal or Bangladesh or poor Indian villages. As long as the girls are uneducated, low-caste peasants like Meena, society will look the other way - just as many antebellum Americans turned away from the horrors of slavery because the people being lashed looked different from them. — Nicholas D. Kristof

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

Sunlight streamed through grumbling storm clouds that played like tiger kittens around the mountain ridges. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Kudrat Dutta Chaudhary

But that's the paradox of expectations; they are infamous for generally never being fulfilled — Kudrat Dutta Chaudhary

Nepal Quotes By John Green

The Rough Guide to Nepal; The Great Sights of Canada; America by Car; Fodor's Guide to the Bahamas; Let's go Bhutan. — John Green

Nepal Quotes By Lykke Li

I lived five years in Portugal and then spent winters in Nepal or India. — Lykke Li

Nepal Quotes By Joe Niemczura

He looked at her face and hesitated. He looked up at the canyon walls. Here on the sandbar, it was eerily quiet except for the tinkle of water over the rocks. A large bird made lazy soaring circles way up in the sky, almost invisible due to the angle of the sun. God forgive me, he thought. Then he touched Ranjit's lighter to the small sheaf of dried grass and threw it on the pyre. He was surprised at the flash when it caught fire. It wouldn't be long, he thought. I will move on, but I will never forget this place.
(from The Sacrament of the Goddess) — Joe Niemczura

Nepal Quotes By Debajani Mohanty

Yulin, a festival in China where thousands of dogs are slaughtered for feast.
Gadhimai Mela, a festival in Nepal where buffaloes, pigs, goats, chickens, and pigeons are slaughtered in large scale
Eid, a festival observed throughout world where animals of various categories are sacrificed.
Come to the land of gods, India, where women are slaughtered each year, each month, everyday.
STOP female foeticide! — Debajani Mohanty

Nepal Quotes By Jane Wilson-Howarth

A Nepali outlook, pace and philosophy had prevented us being swamped by our problems. In Nepal it was easier to take life day by day. — Jane Wilson-Howarth

Nepal Quotes By Natalie Dormer

I would love to go to the Himalayas and cross over into Nepal to do the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. — Natalie Dormer

Nepal Quotes By Joe Niemczura

To transport this way along bouncy mountain roads is not the way to die. Every woman deserves the simple dignity of dying in a bed with clean sheets and an electric light at hand. They wanted me to participate in a horrible abomination. I simply will not countenance the lack of respect for the poor mother of those boys. Imagine how she would feel if she woke up and saw her sons piled at her side.
-spoken by Sara to Matt regarding a victim of Amanita Phalloides [poisoning — Joe Niemczura

Nepal Quotes By Dipesh Nepal

Never say you can't be a writer or a director, remember how well characters in your dreams said their dialogu. — Dipesh Nepal

Nepal Quotes By Sigmar Gabriel

Besides Germany, the only countries that don't have speed limits are places like Nepal, where road conditions are so bad that a limit would be beside the point. In other words, it's a little crazy that this is even a topic for debate in Germany. — Sigmar Gabriel

Nepal Quotes By Martin Clunes

They're so generous, the American fans. They send money to the various charities I support. I tried to raise a little bit of money to send to Nepal, and they were straight in with thousands of dollars. — Martin Clunes

Nepal Quotes By Matt Ridley

The average Mexican lives longer now than the average Briton did in 1955. Infant mortality is lower today in Nepal than it was in Italy in 1951. The proportion of Vietnamese living on less than $2 a day has dropped from 90 per cent to 30 per cent in twenty years. The rich have got richer, but the poor have done even better. — Matt Ridley

Nepal Quotes By David Mitchell

When you're out of your own cultural context you have conversations with yourself that you just don't have at any other point in your life. When you're in a hotel room on the border between India and Nepal you can really discover things about yourself. — David Mitchell

Nepal Quotes By Joshua Isard

The stupa is a white dome with a conical stone tower emerging from its center. There are two eyes painted on the tower, the all seeing eyes of Buddha. They're purple, and look a little sinister, like an Old Testament Buddha. — Joshua Isard

Nepal Quotes By Santosh Kalwar

I am no enemy of Nepal being a fully literate society. It is a good thing for society and the nation as a whole. — Santosh Kalwar

Nepal Quotes By Rosemary Mahoney

A majority of my blind students at the International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs in Trivandrum, India, a branch of Braille Without Borders, came from the developing world: Madagascar, Colombia, Tibet, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, Nepal and India. — Rosemary Mahoney
