“While you are waiting with hope that the train you are waiting for will come to the station and take you away, never forget that there may be people praying that that train will not come and you will not go anywhere!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“This being human is a guest house,
Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still treat each guest honourably,
He may be clearing you out for some new
delight.

The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has sent
as a guide from beyond.”
― Rumi (Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi)

“Sometimes you have to make a decision that feels good, even when it’s not entirely smart or practical. Some things we must do for our hearts and not our minds.”

“অনন্ত জীবন যদি পাই আমি— তা হলে অসীমকাল একা
পৃথিবীর পথে যদি ফিরি আমি— ট্রাম বাস ধুলো
দেখিব অনেক আমি— দেখিব অনেকগুলো
বস্তি, হাট— এঁদো গলি, ভাঙা কলকি হাঁড়ি,
মারামারি, গালাগালি, ট্যারা চোখ, পচা চিংড়ি— কত কী দেখিব নাহি লেখা
তবুও তোমার সাথে অনন্তকালেও আর হবেনাকো দেখা।”
― Jibanananda Das, রূপসী বাংলা
