“বাঙালির জাতিগত আলস্য ধরা পড়ে ভাষায়। বাঙালি ‘দেরি করে’, ‘চুরি করে’, 'আশা করে', এমনকি ‘বিশ্রাম করে’। বিশ্রামও বাঙালির কাছে কাজ।”
― Humayun Azad

“Children of the same family, the same blood, with the same first associations and habits, have some means of enjoyment in their power, which no subsequent connections can supply.”
― Jane Austen, Mansfield Park

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that receives it.”
― Edith Wharton

“Though riches had charms, poverty had no terrors for an inexperienced
girl like me. Indeed, to say the truth, there was something exhilarating
in the idea of being driven to straits, and thrown upon our own resources.
I only wished papa, mamma, and Mary were all of the same
mind as myself; and then, instead of lamenting past calamities we might
all cheerfully set to work to remedy them; and the greater the difficulties,
the harder our present privations, the greater should be our cheerfulness to endure the latter, and our vigour to contend against the former.”
― Anne Brontë, Agnes Grey
