Kaikeyi
Vaishnavi Patel
Top 10 Best Quotes

"Because those who are good question themselves. Because those who are good always wonder if there was a better way, a way that could have helped more and hurt less. That feeling is why you are good.”
“I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions—much good it did me.”
“It is not weak to avoid war,” I said, and my voice broke. Tears pricked at my eyes, and I let them. “It is the strongest thing you could do, to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.”
“Because those who are good question themselves. Because those who are good always wonder if there was a better way, a way that could have helped more and hurt less. That feeling is why you are good.”
“It is admirable to seek out more knowledge, so long as you form your own opinions.”
“This again?” I demanded. “Did you know Sage Vamadeva cursed his innocent wife? Consigned her to a life as a stone statue?”
“If a woman crafted by the gods themselves could be consigned to this fate, what hope was there for a woman born of a woman?”
“The future could not be taught by the past.”
“wonder if anyone else remembers the feast, remembers how friendly we were. Maybe they recalled it years later, after the start of the great war, and believed I had been a traitor all along.”
“hope that Kaikeyi gives voice not just to its titular character but to the many women who populate the world of the Ramayana and have rich and worthy lives of their own.”
