“Behind this mask there is more than just flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea... and ideas are bulletproof.”

“মেয়েগুলো আমাদের দিকে তাকাল, চোখের দৃষ্টি এত আশ্চর্য যে আমার বুকটা ধক করে উঠল। এত তীব্র দৃষ্টি আমি কখনো দেখিনি, সেখানে কোনো বা আতঙ্ক নেই, দৃষ্টিটা আশ্চর্য রকম তীক্ষ্ম। আমি কী বলব, বুঝতে পারলাম না। ঢোঁক গিলে বললাম, “আপনাদের আর কোনো ভয় নাই। যুদ্ধ শেষ। খোদার কসম। যুদ্ধ শেষ।” লালচে চুলের একটা মেয়ে, যার চোখের দৃষ্টি সবচেয়ে ভয়ংকর, সে আস্তে আস্তে প্রায় ফিসফিস করে বলর, “তোমাদের যুদ্ধ শেষ আমাদের যুদ্ধ শুরু।”

“I died as mineral and became a plant,
I died as plant and rose to animal,
I died as animal and I was human,
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die human,
To soar with angels blessed above.
And when I sacrifice my angel soul
I shall become what no mind ever conceived.
As a human, I will die once more,
Reborn, I will with the angels soar.
And when I let my angel body go,
I shall be more than mortal mind can know.”

“Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.”

“Thermodynamic miracles... events with odds against so astronomical they're effectively impossible, like oxygen spontaneously becoming gold. I long to observe such a thing.
And yet, in each human coupling, a thousand million sperm vie for a single egg. Multiply those odds by countless generations, against the odds of your ancestors being alive; meeting; siring this precise son; that exact daughter... Until your mother loves a man she has every reason to hate, and of that union, of the thousand million children competing for fertilization, it was you, only you, that emerged. To distill so specific a form from that chaos of improbability, like turning air to gold... that is the crowning unlikelihood. The thermodynamic miracle.
But...if me, my birth, if that's a thermodynamic miracle... I mean, you could say that about anybody in the world!.
Yes. Anybody in the world. ..But the world is so full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget... I forget. We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from the another's vantage point. As if new, it may still take our breath away. Come...dry your eyes. For you are life, rarer than a quark and unpredictable beyond the dreams of Heisenberg; the clay in which the forces that shape all things leave their fingerprints most clearly. Dry your eyes... and let's go home.”
