“Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That's its balance.”

“People often ask me why my style is so simple. It is, in fact, deceptively simple, for no two sentences are alike. It is clarity that I am striving to attain, not simplicity.

Of course, some people want literature to be difficult and there are writers who like to make their readers toil and sweat. They hope to be taken more seriously that way. I have always tried to achieve a prose that is easy and conversational. And those who think this is simple should try it for themselves.”

“ആ പൂവ് നീയെന്തു ചെയ്തു?..........?
ഏതുപൂവ് ?..
രക്ത നക്ഷത്രം പോലെ
കടും ചെമാപ്പായ ആ പൂവ് ?
ഓ അതോ ?
അതെ, അതെന്ത് ചെയ്തു..?
തിടുക്കപ്പെട്ടു അന്വേഷിക്കുന്നതെന്തിനു ?
ചവിട്ടി അരച്ചുകളഞ്ഞോ എന്നറിയാന്‍?
കളഞ്ഞെങ്കിലെന്ത്?
ഓ ഒന്നുമില്ല,

എന്റെ ഹൃദയമായിരുന്നു അത്.....!”

“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”
