“एक नशा होता है - अन्धकार के गरजते महासागर की चुनौती स्वीकार करने का, पवर्ताकार लहरों से खाली हाथ जूझने का, अनमापी गहराइयों में उतरते जाने का और फिर अपने आप को सारे खतरों में डालकर आस्था के, पर्काश के, सत्य के, मयार्दा के, कुछ कणों को बटोर कर, बचा कर, धरातल तक ले जाने का - इस नशे में इतनी गहरी वेदना और इतना तीखा सुख घुला-मिला रहता है कि उसके आस्वादन के लिए मन बेबस हो उठता है.

“The minute I heard my first love story,
I started looking for you, not knowing
how blind that was.
Lovers don't finally meet somewhere.
They're in each other all along.”
― The Illuminated Rumi

“Nobody has the right to not be offended. That right doesn't exist in any declaration I have ever read.
If you are offended it is your problem, and frankly lots of things offend lots of people.
I can walk into a bookshop and point out a number of books that I find very unattractive in what they say. But it doesn't occur to me to burn the bookshop down. If you don't like a book, read another book. If you start reading a book and you decide you don't like it, nobody is telling you to finish it.
To read a 600-page novel and then say that it has deeply offended you: well, you have done a lot of work to be offended.”
