“Because memory…is everything. Physically speaking, a memory is nothing but a specific combination of neurons firing together—a symphony of neural activity. But in actuality, it’s the filter between us and reality. You think you’re tasting this wine, hearing the words I’m saying, in the present, but there’s no such thing. The neural impulses from your taste buds and your ears get transmitted to your brain, which processes them and dumps them into working memory—so by the time you know you’re experiencing something, it’s already in the past. Already a memory.”

“দূরের বাড়িঘরের জানলায় জানলায় জ্বলে উঠছে সার-সার টিপটিপে আলো। ওসব কাদের গল্পের আলো? কাদের জীবনের ফুলকি? কারা ভালোবাসায়-বেদনায় সাজিয়েছে এই সব আলোর সংসার? সমস্ত ভালোবাসা দিয়ে, বুকে করে, কারা ঝড়বাদলেও আগলে রাখছে এইসব আলোর ফোঁটা? এই সব বাড়িঘর - এসব কাদের বাসস্থান? কারা থাকে এখানে? কারা ক্রমাগত মরে গিয়েও বেঁচে ওঠে আবার! ভালোবাসে আবার! বিশ্বাস করে আবার! আবার ঝুলন সাজায়। এ কাদের ঝুলন-শহর? কাদের এই বাড়ী? এ কি সত্যিই জোনাকিদের বাড়ী?”
