“I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish… You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

“Pulvis et umbra sumus. It's a line from Horace. 'We are dust and shadows'. Appropriate, don't you think?" Will said. "It's not a long life, killing demons; one tends to die young, and then they burn your body - dust to dust, in the literal sense. And then we vanish into the shadows of history, nary a mark on the page of a mundane book to remind the world that once we existed at all.”

“Night falls. Or has fallen. Why is it that night falls, instead of rising, like the dawn? Yet if you look east, at sunset, you can see night rising, not falling; darkness lifting into the sky, up from the horizon, like a black sun behind cloud cover. Like smoke from an unseen fire, a line of fire just below the horizon, brushfire or a burning city. Maybe night falls because it’s heavy, a thick curtain pulled up over the eyes. Wool blanket.”

“If it's a story I'm telling, then I have control over the ending...
But if it's a story, even in my head, I must be telling it to someone.
You don't tell a story only to yourself. There's always someone else. Even when there is no one.”

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet.

“പ്രിയപ്പെട്ട സാറാമ്മേ,
ജീവിതം യൗവനതീക്ഷ്ണവും ഹൃദയം പ്രേമസുരഭിലവുമായിരിക്കുന്ന ഈ അസുലഭകാലഘട്ടത്തെ എന്‍റെ പ്രിയ സുഹൃത്ത്‌ എങ്ങനെ വിനിയോഗിക്കുന്നു?
ഞാനാണെങ്കില്‍...... എന്‍റെ ജീവിതത്തിലെ നിമിഷങ്ങളോരോന്നും സാറാമ്മയോടുള്ള പ്രേമത്തില്‍ കഴിയുകയാണ് . സാറാമ്മയോ? ഗാഢമായി ചിന്തിച്ച് മധുരോദാരമായ ഒരു മറുപടിയില്‍ എന്നെ അനുഗ്രഹിക്കണമെന്ന് അഭ്യര്‍ത്ഥിച്ചുകൊണ്ട് .
സാറാമ്മയുടെ
കേശവന്‍ നായര്‍”
