    Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay
    “Why must I cling to the customs and practices of a particular country forever, just because I happened to be born there? What does it matter if its distinctiveness is lost? Need we be so attached to it? What's the harm if everyone on earth shares the same thoughts and feelings, if they stand under a single banner of laws and regulations? What if we can't be recognized as Indians any more? Where's the harm in that? No one can object if we declare ourselves to be citizens of the world. Is that any less glorious?”
    Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay

    Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay
    “...if true love breaks as easily as a delusion, on what can we rely? What will people pin their hopes on?" [Nilima]

    "They'll have the sweet, intimate memories of a lost paradise, and beside it a sea of sorrow.... People looking on from outside think all is lost... What remains when everything is lost can be held in the palm, like a jewel. It can't be flaunted in a pageant, so the lookers-on are disappointed and jeer as they return home.." [Kamal]

    "...Jewels are not meant for everybody, certainly not for the rabble. People who're only happy when decked out with gold and silver from top to toe won't understand the value of your tiny diamonds and gems. Those who want a lot feel secure only after tying knot upon knot. They put a price on something only by its weight and show and bulk. But it's useless to try and show the sunrise from a western window..[Nilima]”
    Saratchandra Chattopadhyay

    Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay
    “... But I'm annoying you to no purpose with my arguments. A person whose house is only open on the west can't see the sun rise at dawn; it's only seen when the sun sets at dusk. If one tries to compare the color and appearance of the two, one will go on arguing forever...

    ...The fault lies not with the vision but with the closed windows. If you look out of only one opening till the day you die, you'll ever see anything new.”
    Saratchandra Chattopadhyay

    “I'm going to paraphrase Thoreau here... rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness... give me truth. ”
    Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

    Jon Krakauer
    “You are wrong if you think Joy emanates only or principally from human relationships. God has placed it all around us. It is in everything and anything we might experience. We just have to have the courage to turn against our habitual lifestyle and engage in unconventional living.”
    Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

    Jane Austen
    “My good opinion once lost is lost forever.”
    Jane Austin, Pride and Prejudice

  • #16
    Jon Krakauer
    “He read a lot. He used a lot of big words. I think maybe part of what got him into trouble was that he did too much thinking. Sometimes he tried too hard to make sense of the world, to figure out why people were bad to each other so often. A couple of times I tried to tell him it was a mistake to get too deep into that kind of stuff, but Alex got stuck on things. He always had to know the absolute right answer before he could go on to the next thing.”
    Jon Krakauer, Into the Wild

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “You try to be faithful
    And sometimes you're cruel.
    You are mine. Then, you leave.
    Without you, I can't cope.

    And when you take the lead,
    I become your footstep.
    Your absence leaves a void.
    Without you, I can't cope.

    You have disturbed my sleep,
    You have wrecked my image.
    You have set me apart.
    Without you, I can't cope.”
    Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, Love: The Joy That Wounds: The Love Poems of Rumi

    “What else can I say?
    You will only hear
    what you are ready to hear.
    Don’t nod your head,
    Don’t try to fool me—
    the truth of what you see
    is written all over your face!”
    Rumi, Rumi: In the Arms of the Beloved

    Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
    “I was dead
    I came alive
    I was tears
    I became laughter

    All because of love
    when it arrived
    my temporal life
    from then on
    changed to eternal

    Love said to me
    you are not
    crazy enough
    you don’t
    fit this house

    I went and
    became crazy
    crazy enough
    to be in chains

    Love said
    you are not
    intoxicated enough
    you don’t
    fit the group

    I went and
    got drunk
    drunk enough
    to overflow
    with light-headedness

    Love said
    you are still
    too clever
    filled with
    imagination and skepticism

    I went and
    became gullible
    and in fright
    pulled away
    from it all

    Love said
    you are a candle
    attracting everyone
    gathering every one
    around you

    I am no more
    a candle spreading light
    I gather no more crowds
    and like smoke
    I am all scattered now

    Love said
    you are a teacher
    you are a head
    and for everyone
    you are a leader

    I am no more
    not a teacher
    not a leader
    just a servant
    to your wishes

    Love said
    you already have
    your own wings
    I will not give you
    more feathers

    And then my heart
    pulled itself apart
    and filled to the brim
    with a new light
    overflowed with fresh life

    Now even the heavens
    are thankful that
    because of love
    I have become
    the giver of light”
    Rumi
