“ভালবাসার মানুষের সাথে বিয়ে না হওয়াটাই বোধ হয় ভাল।বিয়ে হলে মানুষটা থাকে ভালবাসা থাকে না।আর যদি বিয়ে না হয় তাহলে হয়ত বা ভালবাসাটা থাকে,শুধু মানুষটাই থাকে না। মানুষ এবং ভালবাসা এই দুয়ের মধ্যে ভালবাসাই হয়ত বেশি প্রিয়।”

“Happiness, she would explain, was when a person felt good, light, creative, content, loving and loved, and free. An unhappy person felt as if there were barriers crushing her desires and the talents she had inside. A happy woman was one who could exercise all kinds of rights, from the right to move to the right to create, compete, and challenge, and at the same time could be loved for doing so. Part of happiness was to be loved by a man who enjoyed your strength and was proud of your talents. Happiness was also about the right to privacy, the right to retreat from the company of others and plunge into contemplative solitude. Or sit by yourself doing nothing for a whole day, and not give excuses or feel guilty about it either. Happiness was to be with loved ones, and yet still feel that you existed as a separate being, that ou were not just there to make them happy. Happiness was when there was a balance between what you gave and what you took.”

“শিকল দিয়ে কাউকেই বেঁধে রাখা হয় না । তারপরেও সব মানুষই কোনও - না - কোনও সময় অনুভব করে তার হাত - পায়ে কঠিন শিকল । শিকল ভাঙতে গিয়ে সংসার - বিরাগী গভীর রাতে গৃহত্যাগ করে । ভাবে ,মুক্তি পাওয়া গেল । দশতলা বাড়ির ছাদ থেকে গৃহী মানুষ লাফিয়ে পরে ফুটপাতে । এরা ক্ষণিকের জন্য শিকল ভাঙার তৃপ্তি পায় ।”

“বিপদ যখন আসে একটার পর একটা আসে। বিপদরা পাঁচ ভাইবোন। এদের মধ্যে খুব মিল। এই ভাইবোনরা কখনো একা কারো কাছে যায় না। প্রথম একজন যায়, তারপর তার অন্য ভাইবোনরা উপস্থিত হয়।”

“Mothers should tell little girls and boys about the importance of dreams,' Aunt Habiba said. 'They give a sense direction. It is not enough to reject this courtyard--you need to have a vision of the meadows with which you want to replace it.' But how, I asked Aunt Habiba, could you distinguish among all the wishes, all the cravings which besieged you, and find the one on which you ought to focus, the important dream that gave you vision? She said that little children had to be patient, the key dream would emerge and bloom within, and then, from the intense pleasure it gave you, you would know that that it was the genuine little treasure which would give you direction and light. (p. 214)”
