“The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other’s welcome.”
― Derek Walcott, Sea Grapes

“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

“Language by its very nature is naive,we make it complex and naughty. We make it look and sound like what it is not.”

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