“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.”

“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?”

“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।”
