“It happens that the stage sets collapse. Rising, streetcar, four hours in the office or the factory, meal, streetcar, four hours of work, meal, sleep, and Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday and Saturday according to the same rhythm – this path is easily followed most of the time. But one day the “why” arises and everything begins in that weariness tinged with amazement.”

“If in the past people would listen to music out of love for music, nowadays it roars everywhere and all the time, "regardless whether we want to hear it", it roars from loudspeakers, in cars, in restaurants, in elevators, in the streets, in waiting rooms, in gyms, in the earpieces of Walkmans, music rewritten, reorchestrated, abridged, and stretched out, fragments of rock, of jazz, of opera, a flood of everything jumbled together so that we don't know who composed it (music become noise is anonymous), so that we can't tell beginning from end (music become noise has no form): sewage-water music in which music is dying.”

“একদিন আমি তেতাল্লিশ বার সূর্য ডুবতে দেখলাম।' একটু পরে সে আরও বলল--
'জানো, লোকেদের যখন খুব মন খারাপ থাকে তখন সূর্যডোবা দেখতে ভাল লাগে।'
'তেতাল্লিশবারের দিন তাহলে তোমার খুব মন খারাপ ছিল?' কোন জবাবই কিন্তু দিল না খুদে রাজকুমার।”

“যে ফুলের আদল পাওয়া যায় শুধুমাত্র লক্ষ লক্ষ তারার মধ্যে, তাকে যদি কেউ ভালবাসে, তারাদের দিকে চেয়ে চেয়েই তার সুখ। নিজেকে সে বোঝায়, 'ঐখানে কোথাও না কোথাও আছে আমার ফুল...' কিন্তু সেই ফুলটাকে যদি ভেড়া খেয়ে ফেলে তাহলে তো তার কাছে নিভে যায় সব তারার আলো। এটা কি গুরুগম্ভীর বিষয় নয়?”

“Friendship is indispensable to man for the proper function of his memory. Remembering our past, carrying it with us always, may be the necessary requirement for maintaining, as they say, the wholeness of the self. To ensure that the self doesn't shrink, to see that it holds on to its volume, memories have to be watered like potted flowers, and the watering calls for regular contact with the witnesses of the past, that is to say, with friends. They are our mirror; our memory; we ask nothing of them but that they polish the mirror from time to time so we can look at ourselves in it.”
