“Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"— here I opened wide the door; —
Darkness there, and nothing more.Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,

“মানুষ থেকেই মানুষ আসে
বিরুদ্ধতার ভিড় বাড়ায়,
আমরা মানুষ, তোমরা মানুষ
তফাত শুধু শিরদাঁড়ায়।”
― Srijato

“How dreary — to be — Somebody! How public — like a Frog — To tell one's name — the livelong June — To an admiring Bog!”
― Emily Dickinson, I'm Nobody! Who Are You?

“I wish you to know you have been the last dream of my soul. Since I knew you, I have been troubled by a remorse that I thought would never reproach me again, and have heard whispers from old voices impelling me upward, that I thought were silent for ever. I had unformed ideas of striving afresh, beginning anew, shaking off sloth and sensuality, and fighting out the abandoned fight. A dream, all a dream, that ends in nothing…

But I wish you to know that you inspired it. And yet I have had the weakness, and have still the weakness, to wish you to know with what a sudden mastery you kindled me, heap of ashes that I am, into the fire.”
― Charles Dickens
