“I have shown you this evening autographic records of the history of stress and strain in the living and non-living. How similar are the writings! So similar in fact that you cannot tell one apart from the other. Among such phenomena, how can we draw a line of demarcation and say, here the physical ends and there the physiological begins? Such absolute barriers do not exist.
It was when I came upon the mute witness of these self made records, and perceived in them one phase of a pervading unity that bears within it all things - the mote that quivers in ripples of light, the teeming life upon our earth, and the radiant suns that shine above us - it was then that I understood for the first time a little of that message proclaimed by my ancestors on the banks of the Ganges thirty centuries ago: "They who see but one, in all the changing manifoldness of this universe, unto them belongs Eternal Truth - unto none else, unto none else!”
― Jagadis Chandra Bose, Response in the Living and Non-Living

“অনেক সময়ে এক অপূর্ণতা আসিয়া পৃথিবীর সৌন্দর্য ও সজীবতা অপহরণ করে। আলো ও অন্ধকার, সুখ ও দুঃখমিশ্রিত দৃশ্য অসামঞ্জস্যহেতু অশান্তিপূর্ণ হয়, অথচ আলো ও অন্ধকারের সমাবেশ ভিন্ন সুচিত্র হয় না। কেবল আলো কিংবা কেবল অন্ধকারে চিত্র অপরিস্ফুট থাকে।”
