Here are my favorite quotes about the Taj Mahal, including inspiration from, poems, literature, pop culture, and quotes by famous Indian authors!
I found the Taj Mahal as the most appropriate example of artistically expressed love. –
Rahul had wondered how someone could love their beloved so much that their dedication to them became one of the wonders of the world. –
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who have seen the Taj Mahal and love it, and those who have not seen the Taj Mahal and love it. I would like people to watch the Taj Mahal and fall in love with it. -President Bill Clinton
You know Shah Jahan, life and youth, wealth and glory, they all drift away in the current of time. You strove, therefore, to perpetuate only the sorrow of your heart? Let the splendor of diamond, pearl and ruby vanish? Only let this one teardrop, this Taj Mahal, glisten spotlessly bright on the cheek of time, forever and ever. -Rabindranath Tagore
If I had never done anything else in India, I would have written my name here, and the letters would have been a living joy. -Lord Curzon
To say she was attractive would be an understatement. Calling her ‘attractive’ would be like calling the Taj Mahal a marble grave. –
She smelled the way the Taj Mahal looks by moonlight. -Raymond Chandler
The Taj Mahal rises above the banks of the river like a solitary tear suspended on the cheek of time. –
The Taj is pinkish in the morning, milky white in the evening and golden when the moon shines. -Anonymous
Not a piece of architecture, as other buildings are, but the proud passions of an emperor’s love wrought in living stones. -Sir Edwin Arnold
The world believes it was built by love but reading Shah Jahan’s own words on the Taj, one could say it was grief that built the Taj Mahal and it was sorrow that saw it through sixteen years till completion. –
It appears like a perfect pearl on an azure ground. The effect is such I have never experienced from any work of art. -Hodges
I’ve just been to the Taj Mahal which I’d never been to and I’m not a very romantic kind of guy but it is the most romantic thing I’ve ever seen. -Danny Boyle
Marble, I perceive, covers a multitude of sins. –
Taj Mahal was built as a team; without a team, it was a far dream. –
A massive marble structure, without weight, as if formed of ether, perfectly rational and at the same time entirely decorative, it is perhaps the greatest art work which the forming spirit of mankind has ever brought forth. –Count Hermann Keyserling
Taj Mahal is not just a monument, but a symbol of love. –
Did you ever build a castle in the Air? Here is one, brought down to earth and fixed for the wonder of ages. -Bayard Taylor
Now remember, they say if two people go together to visit the Taj Mahal, that means they will always be together. Are you ready for that? Guess I’m stuck with you then. -Anonymous
I was impressed by the Taj Mahal. A good bit of work, well looked after, worth paying money to see. -Karl Pilkington
You can slow time down by traveling. That month from Shringar to the Taj Mahal is like a year in my life currently. Really, time is a measure of change, in a vacuum time doesn’t exist because nothing’s changing. If you can pack your life full of interesting changes you stretch it out. So if you want to live longer, have a really interesting life. -Christopher Ryan

5 Things to Pack for Your Trip to India
The Lonely Planet India guidebook. It can be kind of a pain to find the major guidebooks once you land, or you’ll find them overpriced. I always like to pick mine up ahead of time.
An Unlocked Cell Phone so that you can use a local sim card while here to help navigate public transportation and when you’re on the road.
Backup Charging Bank for your cell phone since you’ll be using it as a camera, GPS, and general travel genie.
A Camera since India is super photogenic. I use a mix of my Nikon D810 and my Samsung8 smartphone these days.
A Great Day Bag so you can carry what you need with you (like your camera, snacks, water, sunscreen, cash, etc). My current favorite is the Pacsafe Citysafe, which is especially great for India because it has many anti-theft features designed to deter pickpockets.
Don’t Forget About Travel Insurance!
Before you leave for India make sure you have a valid Travel Insurance Policy because accidents happen on the road. I pay for World Nomads, and I happily recommend them. It’s especially important to get travel insurance if you’ll be hanging enjoying time in India’s cities. My friend Chris had his iPhone stolen in Mumbai, but luckily he was able to claim it on his travel insurance.
I have been a paying customer of World Nomads for travel insurance for three years, and I happily recommend them. If you get sick, injured, or have your stuff stolen, you’ll be happy to have the ability to pay for your medical bills or replace what’s stolen or broken.
