Joseph Conrad
“You perceive the force of a word. He who wants to persuade should put his trust not in the right argument, but in the right word. The power of sound has always been greater than the power of sense... Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.”
Joseph Conrad

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

Syed Waliullah
“কেউ কেউ আরো আশা নিয়ে আলিয়া মাদ্রাসায় পড়ে। বিদেশে গিয়ে পোকায় খাওয়া মস্ত মস্ত কেতাব খতম করে। কিন্তু কেতাবে যে বিদ্যে লেখা তা কোন এক বিগত যুগে চড়ায় পড়ে আটকে গেছে। চড়া কেটে সে-বিদ্যেকে এত যুগ অতিক্রম করিয়ে বর্তমান স্রোতের সঙ্গে মিশিয়ে দেবে এমন লোক আবার নেই। অতএব কেতাবগুলোর বিচিত্র অক্ষরগুলো দূরান্ত কোনো এক অতীতকালের অরণ্যে আর্তনাদ করে।”
Syed Waliullah

Lao Tzu
“If you are depressed you are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are living in the future.
If you are at peace you are living in the present.”
Lao Tzu

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
