Personally, I, Mindy Kaling want to spend like 80 percent of my life hanging out with women.

My alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.

Too many women throw themselves into romance because they’re afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won’t do that

Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.

Being single is getting over the illusion that there is somebody out there to complete you and taking charge of your own life.

If you have to ask someone to change, to tell you they love you, to bring wine to dinner, to call you when they land, you can’t afford to be with them.

How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself.

It seemed to me that the desire to get married – which, I regret to say, I believe is basic and primal in women – is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge – which is to be single again.

It is good to be lonely, for being alone is not easy. The fact that something is difficult must be one more reason to do it.

I celebrate myself, and sing myself.

Working long hours being single helps because your time is yours. Once you have a family your time isn’t all yours anymore. Most of the Mac team, we were in our mid-20’s, most of us were single, and we were able to essentially devote our lives to it.

I love being single. I can come and go as I please and stay out as late as I want to.

You do not need to be loved, not at the cost of yourself. The single relationship that is truly central and crucial in a life is the relationship to the self. Of all the people you will know in a lifetime, you are the only one you will never lose.

If we seek paradise outside ourselves, we cannot have paradise in our hearts.

Now I’m feeling how I should. Never knew single could feel this good.

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don’t see things clearly as long as you’re still involved.

You are terrifying, and strange, and beautiful. Something not everyone knows how to love.

I think, therefore I’m single.

Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.

We did not come to remain whole. We came to lose our leaves like the trees, trees that start again.

No human being can really understand another, and no one can arrange another’s happiness.

To love blindly is to love selfishly, because the goal of such love is not the real advantage of the beloved but only the exercise of love in our own souls.

I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.

I regard romantic comedies as a subgenre of sci-fi, in which the world operates according to different rules than my regular human world.

Some of us think holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it is letting go.

I like being single, I’m always there when I need me.

Discover why you’re important, then refuse to settle for anyone who doesn’t completely agree.

I don’t like to be labeled as lonely just because I am alone.

This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.

I am a lover without a lover. I am lovely and lonely and I belong deeply to myself.

My family were really hard-working, blue-collar people, and I didn't know the idea or concept of working and having fun. I thought you just worked and made money to support your family.

English people are so trapped in this class paradigm.

The difficulty for me is that I'm interested in so many different things. I could never really imagine myself doing one thing, and I'm pretty sure that I'll end up doing four or five different things.

I am the Love that dare not speak its name.

And also, more and more businesses really want to do the right thing. They feel better about themselves, their workers feel better, and so do their customers. I think this is equally true in the transnational corporations, but it is harder to express in those situations.

I didn't have a normal academic career. I never studied cinema. I learned from life.

I don't really worry about the weather... as long as you have good access to the stadium, that's the one thing you worry about.

Everything that enlarges the sphere of human powers, that shows man he can do what he thought he could not do, is valuable.

Remembrance is the only paradise out of which we cannot be driven away.

We all pulled together at the right time, unfortunately, we were down 3-0 to the Yankees when we decided to do it, but we did it. And we shocked the world.

Privacy seems not an illusion for those who want to believe in secrecy principle.

If, at a party, I say I'm a poet, people have a hard time responding, almost as if I'd said I'm a priest.

I'm marriable. But I'm not married.

At the end of the day, I stand by who I am. I'm a good person.

Winning our fans' approval will come from all of us doing the right things for the right reasons, me included.

Talking about someone who makes you happy actually makes you happy.

As for the depiction of the Catholic church, it's not meant to be a prediction.

So I went to Chicago in 1940, I think, '41, and the photographs that I made there, aside from fashion, were things that I was trying to express in a social conscious way.

Politics is really religion. Politics is about sacredness. Politics is about offering a vision that will bind the nation together to pursue greatness.
