“It is the time you have spent with your rose that makes your rose so important.’
‘It is the time I have spent with my rose …’ repeated the little prince, so that he wouldn’t forget.
‘People ignore this simple truth,’ said the fox. ‘But you must not. You are forever responsible for those you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose.”
― The Little Prince

“পাকিস্তানের কোনখানে বাংলাদেশ আছে শুনি? প-এ পাঞ্জাব-পাঠান, ক-এ কাশ্মীর, স-এ সিন্ধু, স্তান-এ বেলুচিস্তান- এই তো পাকিস্তান শব্দের ব্যাখ্যা। তা হ'লে বাংলা স্থান পেল কোন অংশে?”

“You are not like my rose at all,’ he said to them. ‘You are not special yet. No one has tamed you, and you have tamed no one. My fox was like you. He was like a hundred thousand other foxes. But I have made him my friend, and now he is unique.’
And the roses felt quite uneasy.
‘You are beautiful, but you are hollow,’ he went on. ‘No one would give up their life for you. Of course an ordinary passerby would think that my rose looks just like you. But she’s more important than all of you – because I watered her, I sheltered her under a glass dome, and I protected her with a mesh. It was for her that I killed the caterpillars (except the two or three so she could see the butterflies). I have listened to her complaining, grumbling, boasting and even to her silence. Because she is my rose”

“But the beginning of things, of a world especially, is necessarily vague, chaotic, and exceedingly disturbing. How few of us ever emerge from such beginning! How many souls perish in its tumult! The voice of the sea is seductive; never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander for a spell in abysses of solitude; to lose itself in mazes of inward contemplation.
The voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace.”
― The Awakening

“প্রেমে ও রণে কিছুই অন্যায় নয়।
একটা বিরাট জালিয়াতি আছে কথাটার ভিতর। প্রেমে যদি কিছু অন্যায় না হয়, তবে যুদ্ধে সবি অন্যায়। যুদ্ধটাই অন্যায়। যুদ্ধ ও প্রেম বিপরীতার্থক। তাদের সামান্য লক্ষণ সন্ধান মূর্খের কর্ম।
কিন্তু কথাটার উদ্ভাবক মূর্খ ছিলেন না।
নিশ্চয়ই না। মূর্খতার একটা লক্ষণ হিসেবেই কথাটাকে তিনি তৈরি করেছিলেন। এবং বর্তমানের মূর্খরা ক্ষেত্রবিশেষে নরপিশাচেরা, এটাকে তাদের শয়তানির কৈফিয়ত হিসেবে ব্যবহার করছে।”
