“Listen, if there is a hell, we're in it. And if there's a heaven, we're already there. This is it.”

“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?”

“In the cold December air, all the leaves, thousands upon thousands of them, flashed against the sky, drenched in gold. Every leaf rang with its own light, and all the light poured into me without end.”

“Even if something happens to us, even if we die and never have to deal with them again, the same thing will happen to someone, somewhere. The same thing. The weak always go through this, and there’s nothing we can do about it. Because the strong never go away. That’s why you want to pretend to be like them, isn’t it? You want to join them.”

“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.”
