Sanub Salim > Sanub Salim's Quotes

“I can give not what men call love
but wilt thou accept not
the worship the heart lifts above
and the heavens reject not-
the desire of the moth for the star
Of the night for the morrow
the devotion of something afar
from the sphere of our sorrow?

ലോകര്‍ പേര്‍ പറയുന്ന പ്രേമമെന്നത് നിന/ ക്കേകുവാന്‍ ഞാനെന്നിരിക്കിലും ഭദ്രേ!/സ്വീകരിക്കുകയില്ലേയെന്‍ ഹൃദ്യോത്സര്‍പ്പണം / സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗവും നിരാകരിക്കാത്തതാമാരാധനം/ പാറ്റക്ക് വിന്‍താരയോടുള്ളതാമഭിലാഷം/ രാത്രിക്ക് പിറ്റെന്നാളോടുള്ളതാമത്യാസക്തി/ ഹാ വിദൂരതയിലോന്നിനു വേണ്ടി ശോക / ഭൂവില്‍ നിന്നുയരുന്ന ഭക്തിനിര്‍ഭരമോഹം”
― S.K. Pottekkatt

― Henry Miller, The Books in My Life

“That's what careless words do. They make people love you a little less.”
― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things

“...the secret of the Great Stories is that they have no secrets. The Great Stories are the ones you have heard and want to hear again. The ones you can enter anywhere and inhabit comfortably. They don’t deceive you with thrills and trick endings. They don’t surprise you with the unforeseen. They are as familiar as the house you live in. Or the smell of your lover’s skin. You know how they end, yet you listen as though you don’t. In the way that although you know that one day you will die, you live as though you won’t. In the Great Stories you know who lives, who dies, who finds love, who doesn’t. And yet you want to know again.

That is their mystery and their magic.”
― Arundhati Roy, The God of Small Things
