    Atal Bihari Vajpayee
    “आओ फिर से दिया जलाएँ
    भरी दुपहरी में अंधियारा

    सूरज परछाई से हारा
    अंतरतम का नेह निचोड़ें

    बुझी हुई बाती सुलगाएँ।
    आओ फिर से दिया जलाएँ

    हम पड़ाव को समझे मंज़िल
    लक्ष्य हुआ आंखों से ओझल

    वतर्मान के मोहजाल में
    आने वाला कल न भुलाएँ।

    आओ फिर से दिया जलाएँ।

    आहुति बाकी यज्ञ अधूरा
    अपनों के विघ्नों ने घेरा

    अंतिम जय का वज़्र बनाने
    नव दधीचि हड्डियां गलाएँ।

    आओ फिर से दिया जलाएँ”

    William Faulkner
    “Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
    Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
