    Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
    “We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls, you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful, but not too successful. Otherwise, you would threaten the man. Because I am female, I am expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Now marriage can be a source of joy and love and mutual support but why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage and we don’t teach boys the same? We raise girls to see each other as competitors not for jobs or accomplishments, which I think can be a good thing, but for the attention of men. We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings in the way that boys are.”
    Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, We Should All Be Feminists

    “Down through the ages and in the whole world, Watt and Newton cannot have been the only ones to notice the steam from a boiling kettle or observe an apple fall. Having eyes, but not seeing beauty; having ears, but not hearing music; having minds, but not perceiving truth; having hearts that are never moved and therefore never set on fire. These are the things to fear, said the headmaster.”

    Syed Mujtaba Ali
    “ভেবে-চিন্তে অগ্রপশ্চাৎ বিবেচনা করে বই কেনে সংসারী লোক। পাঁড় পাঠক বই কেনে প্রথমে দাঁত-মুখ খিঁচিয়ে, তারপর চেখে চেখে সুখ করে করে, এবং সর্বশেষে সে কেনে ক্ষ্যাপার মত, এবং চুর হয়ে থাকে মধ্যিখানে। এই একমাত্র ব্যসন, একমাত্র নেশা যার দরুন সকালবেলা চোখের সামনে সারে সারে গোলাপি হাতি দেখতে হয় না, লিভার পচে পটল তুলতে হয় না।”

    Syed Mujtaba Ali
    “ভাষাতত্ত্ব নিয়ে আমার মনে তখন আরও একটা খটকা লাগল ৷ রেডিয়ােওয়ালার চোস্ত ফার্সী জানার কথা। তাকে জিজ্ঞাসা করলুম, ‘ঐ যে সরাইওয়ালা বলল, ‘মাল-জানের’ তদারকি আপন আপন কাঁধে এ কথাটা আমার কানে কেমনতরো নূতন ঠেকলো। সমাসটা কি ‘জান-মাল’ নয়?’

    অন্ধকারে রেডিয়োওয়ালার মুখ দেখা যাচ্ছিল না। তাই তার কথা অনেকটা বেতারবার্তার মত কানে এসে পৌঁছল। বললেন, 'ইরানদেশের ফার্সীতে বলে, 'জান-মাল' কিন্তু আফগানিস্থানে জান সস্তা, মালের দাম ঢের বেশী৷ তাই বলে 'মাল-জান’।

    আমি বললুম, 'তাই বোধ করি হবে। ভারতবর্ষেও প্রাণ রেজায় সস্তা --- তাই আমরাও বলি ‘ধনে-প্রাণে’ মেরো না। ‘প্রাণে-ধনে’ মেরাে না কথাটা কখনো শুনিনি৷”
    Syed Mujtaba Ali, দেশে বিদেশে
