Paulo Coelho
“Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.

No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow capable of sustaining a house or a structure that is already rotten. They are the engineers of the superseded.

Other people think exactly the opposite: they surrender themselves without a second thought, hoping to find in passion the solutions to all their problems. They make the other person responsible for their happiness and blame them for their possible unhappiness. They are either euphoric because something marvelous has happened or depressed because something unexpected has just ruined everything.

Keeping passion at bay or surrendering blindly to it - which of these two attitudes is the least destructive?

I don't know.”
Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

Humayun Ahmed
“ভালোবাসা আর ঘৃণা আসলে একই জিনিস। একটি মুদ্রার এক পিঠে "ভালোবাসা" আরেক পিঠে লেখা ঘৃণা। প্রেমিক প্রেমিকার সামনে এই মুদ্রা মেঝেতে ঘুরতে থাকে। যাদের প্রেম যতো গভীর তাদের মুদ্রার ঘূর্ণন ততো বেশি। এক সময় ঘূর্ণন থেমে যায় মুদ্রা ধপ করে পড়ে যায়। তখন কারো কারোর ক্ষেত্রে দেখা যায় "ভালোবাসা" লেখা পিঠটা বের হয়েছে, কারো কারো ক্ষেত্রে ঘৃণা বের হয়েছে। কাজেই এই মুদ্রাটি যেন সবসময় ঘুরতে থাকে সেই ব্যবস্থা করতে হবে। ঘূর্ণন কখনো থামানো যাবে না।”
Humayun Ahmed, দাঁড়কাকের সংসার কিংবা মাঝে মাঝে তব দেখা পাই
