"This is very precious book for me as I've yearned too long to get my hands on this. I've only read a few pages but in other collection of letters majority of them turn out to be a little tedious recounting of days to get through to the truly significant ones. But each one of these letters feel profound and beautiful." — Jul 15, 2021 03:07AM

“I squat there and think about how you get trained early on as a woman to perceive how others are perceiving you, at the great expense of what you yourself are feeling about them. Sometimes you mix the two up in a terrible tangle that’s hard to unravel.”

“আমার হৃদয় পৃথিবী ছিঁড়ে উড়ে গেলো,
নীল হাওয়ার সমুদ্রে স্ফীত মাতাল বেলুনের মতো গেল উড়ে,
একটা দূর নক্ষত্রের মাস্তুলকে তারায়-তারায় উড়িয়ে দিয়ে চলল
একটা দুরন্ত শকুনের মতো।”

“And then there are days when sleeping is the hardest. The fight of muscle against world becomes so constant, that surrendering to slumber doesn't promise nearly enough relief. These are times when hands feel nothing but empty”

“Your work is not only books and pictures. They are but bits of it. Your work is You, not less than you, not parts of you… These days when you “cannot work” are accomplishing it, are of it, like the days when you “can work.” There is no division. It is all one. Your living is all of it; anything less is part of it. — Your silence will be read with your writings some day, your darkness will be part of the Light.”

“For me, finding hope is not some philosophical exercise or sentimental notion; it is a prerequisite for my survival.”
