Koel Ray

“There is no going back in life. There is no return. No second chance. I cannot call back the spoken word or the accomplished deed, sitting here, alive and in my own home, any more than poor Tom Jenkyn could, swinging in his chains.”
― Daphne du Maurier, Daphne du Maurier Omnibus 4: Rebecca; My Cousin Rachel

“Nothing like a mask to reveal somebody’s true nature”
― Stuart Turton, The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

“It must be great. Not to miss things. Not to long to get back to something. Not to be looking back all the time.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, Klara and the Sun

“When all is said and done, it is my life.”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
