“What more consolation can there be! A God-believing Hindu may expect to be reborn a king; a Muslim or a Christian might dream of the luxuries he hopes to enjoy in paradise as a reward for his sufferings and sacrifices. What hope should I entertain? I know that will be the end when the rope is tightened round my neck and the rafters move from under my feet. To use more precise religious terminology, that will be the moment of utter annihilation. My soul will come to nothing. If I take the courage to take the matter in the light of ‘Reward’, I see that a short life of struggle with no such magnificent end shall itself be my ‘Reward.’ That is all.”

“मानव-मन बड़ा अद्भुत होता है बेनीमाधव। जब तक वह संस्कार धारता नहीं तभी तक विकारग्रस्त रहता है और एक बार वह निश्चय कर ले तो जादू की तरह उसकी दृष्टि बदलकर कुछ और की और ही हो जाती है।”
