“The metal door began to roll open as she held her breath. Its parts creaked like the bones of a giant roused from his slumber, like a Lazarus that had hidden his flaming heart within fireproof walls, patiently sleeping as the comatose do.

The smell hit her first. Mold. Dampness. Cold lifeless things.

Within, there was a darker sort of silence, as if the building had been holding its breath for so long it had forgotten how to breathe.”
― Angela Panayotopulos, The Wake Up

“জ্যোৎস্না আরো ফুটিয়াছে, নক্ষত্রদল জ্যোৎস্নালোকে প্রায় অদৃশ্য, চারিধারে চাহিয়া মনে হয় এ সে পৃথিবী নয় এতদিন যাহাকে জানিতাম, এ স্বপ্নভূমি, এই দিগন্তব্যাপী জ্যোৎস্নায় অপার্থিব জীবেরা এখানে নামে গভীর রাত্রে, তারা তপস্যার বস্তু, কল্পনা ও স্বপ্নের বস্তু, বনের ফুল যারা ভালবাসে না, সুন্দরকে চেনে না, দিগ্বলয়রেখা যাদের কখনো হাতছানি দিয়া ডাকে নাই, তাদের কাছে এ পৃথিবী ধরা দেয় না কোনো কালেই।”

“People just have an affair, or even entire relationships, they breakup and they forget. They move on like they would have changed brand of cereals. I feel I was never able to forget anyone I've been with because each person had their own specific qualities.
You can never replace anyone what is lost is lost. I see in them little details, so specific to each of them, that move me and that I miss and will always miss. You can never replace anyone, because everyone is made of such beautiful, specific details.”
― Julie Delpy
