“There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.
There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.
You feel it, don't you?”

“रघुवर प्रसाद का आकाश देखना रघुवर प्रसाद का चिठ्ठी लिखना होगा। चंद्रमा सोनसी के लिए लिखा हुआ संबोधन होगा। तारो की लिपि होगी जिसे तत्काल सोनसी पढ़ लेगी। रघुवर प्रसाद कसौटी के पत्थर पर लेटकर एक बड़ा आकाश देखेंगे। बड़ा आकाश लंबी चिठ्ठी होगी। सोनसी खिड़की से छोटा आकाश देखेगी तो छोटी चिठ्ठी होगी। आकाश एक दूसरे को लिखी चिठ्ठी होगी।
दरवाजा खोलकर आकाश देख लेते थे, सोनसी की चिठ्ठी है। सोनसी भी देख लेती होगी की रघुवर प्रसाद की चिठ्ठी है। कभी आकाश में बहुत सारे तारे होते। कभी इक्के दुक्के दिखाई देते। इक्के दुक्के तारों का आकाश लिखने का समय नही मिला जैसा या थोड़ी थोड़ी लिखी जा रही चिठ्ठी जैसा था।”

“A writer always wears glasses and never combs his hair. Half the time he feels angry about everything and the other half depressed. He spends most of his life in bars, arguing with other dishevelled, bespectacled writers. He says very 'deep' things. He always has amazing ideas for the plot of his next novel, and hates the one he has just published.”
