Everybody has a right to like or dislike anything or anyone. From a flower to a flavor to a book or a composition but it is very sad that in our country we actually fight over such things in an unseemly manner. – Ravi Shankar
In our culture we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God. – Ravi Shankar
Pop changes week to week, month to month. But great music is like literature. – Ravi Shankar
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.

Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesnt. – Jean-Luc Godard
