“And Kurt.
If only he could have seen the joy that his music brought to the world, maybe he could have found his own. My life was forever changed by Kurt, something I never had the chance to say while he was still with us, and not thanking him for that is a regret I will have to live with until we are somehow reunited. Not a day goes by when I don't think of our time together, and when we meet in my dreams there's always a feeling of happiness and calm, almost as if he's just been hiding, waiting to return.”
― The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music

“That the opposite of love is not hate. Hate is just love gone bad. The actual opposite of love is apathy. When you don’t care a damn as to what happens to the other person.”

“Do you think that I count the days? There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk.”

“It's not that I don't believe in contemporary literature, but I don't want to waste valuable time reading any book that has not had the baptism of time. Life is too short. (...) If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. That's the world of hicks and slobs. Real people would be ashamed of themselves doing that.”

“और उसे गोद में उठाकर प्यार करने लगी। सहसा उसके हाथ में चिमटा देखकर वह चौंकी। "यह चिमटा कहाँ था?" "मैंने मोल लिया है।" "कै पैसे में?" "तीन पैसे दिये।" अमीना ने छाती पीट ली। यह कैसा बेसमझ लड़का है कि दोपहर हुई, कुछ खाया न पिया। लाया क्या, चिमटा! बाेली, "सारे मेले में तुझे और कोई चीज़ न मिली, जो यह लोहे का चिमटा उठा लाया?" हामिद ने अपराधी-भाव से कहा, "तुम्हारी उँगलियाँ तवे से जल जाती थीं, इसलिए मैने इसे लिया।" बुढ़िया का क्रोध तुरंत स्नेह में बदल गया, और स्नेह भी वह नहीं, जो प्रगल्भ होता है और अपनी सारी कसक शब्दों में बिख़ेर देता है। यह मूक स्नेह था, ख़ूब ठोस, रस और स्वाद से भरा हुआ। बच्चे में कितना त्याग, कितना सदभाव और कितना विवेक है! दूसरों को खिलौने लेते और मिठाई खाते देखकर इसका मन कितना ललचाया होगा! इतना ज़ब्त इससे हुआ कैसे? वहाँ भी इसे अपनी बुढ़िया दादी की याद बनी रही। अमीना”
