Tahsin > Tahsin's Quotes

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“Maybe there were people who lived those lives. Maybe this girl was one of them. But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls?

When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

“Mamaw also said that the best things in life die quickly, like the cherry blossom. Because something so beautiful can never last forever, shouldn’t last forever. It stays for a brief moment in time to remind us how precious life is, before fading away just as quickly as it came. She said that it teaches you more in its short life than anything that is forever by your side.”

My throat began to close at the pain in her voice. She looked up at me. “Because nothing so perfect can last an eternity, can it? Like shooting stars. We see the usual stars above us every single night. Most people take them for granted, even forget they are there. But if a person sees a shooting star, they remember that moment forever, they even make a wish at its presence.”

She took in a deep breath. “It shoots by so quickly that people savor the short time they have with it.”

I felt a teardrop fall on our joined hands. I was confused, unsure why she was talking about such sad things.

“Because something so completely perfect and special is destined to fade. Eventually, it has to blow away into the wind.” Poppy held up the cherry blossom that was still in her hand. “Like this flower.” She threw it into the air, just as a gust of wind came. The strong bluster carried the petals into the sky and away above the trees.

It disappeared from our sight.

“Poppy—” I went to speak, but she cut me off.

“Maybe we’re like the cherry blossom, Rune. Like shooting stars. Maybe we loved too much too young and burned so bright that we had to fade out.” She pointed behind us, to the blossom grove. “Extreme beauty, quick death. We had this love long enough to teach us a lesson. To show us how capable of love we truly are.”
― Tillie Cole, A Thousand Boy Kisses

“কিছু কিছু মানুষ বিচিত্র ধরনের নিঃসঙ্গতা নিয়ে পৃথিবীতে আসে। কারোর সাধ্য নেই সেই নিঃসঙ্গতা দূর করে। সেই সব মানুষরা তাদের নিঃসঙ্গতা দূর করার চেষ্টা নিজেরাই করে। তা করতে গিয়ে কেউ বড় লেখক হয়, কেউ হয় চিত্রকর, বিজ্ঞানী। আবার কেউ হয়তো তার মতো ডাক্তার হয়। চারপাশের মানুষদের নিয়ে অসম্ভব ব্যস্ত থেকে নিজের নিঃসঙ্গতা ভুলে থাকতে চায়।”
― Humayun Ahmed, তেতুল বনে জোছনা
