“Niren had not seen her properly before. She had very lovely eyes. He had not before seen such a beautiful expression in any one's eyes, except perhaps those of her brother Opu. They were big and sleepy. They had the same drowsy quality which was hidden in the deep fresh greenness of the mango and bokul trees that lined the paths in the village. The dawn that would quicken them had not yet come; and the heavy sleep that precedes waking still brooded over them. Yes, it was dawn they made him think of; dawn, when sleeping eyes first open, dawn when maidens walk down to the river's edge, and every window gives forth the odour of incense; dawn, that cool ambrosial hour when the waters of awakening flow cool and fresh through house after house.”
― Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, Pather Panchali: Song of the Road

“জীবন বড় মধুময় শুধু এইজন্য যে, এই মাধুর্যের অনেকটাই স্বপ্ন ও কল্পনা দিয়া গড়া। হোক না স্বপ্ন মিথ্যা, কল্পনা বাস্তবতার লেশশূন্য; নাই বা থাকিল সবসময় তাহাদের পিছনে স্বার্থকতা; তাহারাই যে জীবনের শ্রেষ্ঠ সম্পদ, তাহারা আসুক, জীবনে অক্ষয় হোক তাহাদের আসন; তুচ্ছ স্বার্থকতা, তুচ্ছ লাভ।”
― Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, Pather Panchali: Song of the Road

লাথি ঝাঁটা পায়ের তল,
ভাত কাপড়টা বুকের বল-”
― Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay, Pather Panchali: Song of the Road

“Bountiful is your life, full and complete. Or so you think, until someone comes along and makes you realize what you have been missing all this time. Like a mirror that reflects what is absent rather than present, he shows you the void in your soul—the void you have resisted seeing. That person can be a lover, a friend, or a spiritual master. Sometimes it can be a child to look after. What matters is to find the soul that will complete
yours. All the prophets have given the same advice: Find the one who will be your mirror!".”
― Elif Shafak, The Forty Rules of Love
