“I simply knew that I was peculiar and that I was a puzzle to those around me. I was also learning that this weirdness was a part of me that was not to be extinguished.”

“You ask me how I became a madman. It happened thus: One day, long before many gods were born, I woke from a deep sleep and found all my masks were stolen, the seven masks I have fashioned and worn in seven lives, I ran maskless through the crowded streets shouting, "Thieves, thieves, the cursed thieves."

Men and women laughed at me and some ran to their houses in fear of me.

And when I reached the market place, a youth standing on a house-top cried, "He is a madman." I looked up to behold him; the sun kissed my own naked face for the first time. For the first time the sun kissed my own naked face and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun, and I wanted my masks no more. And as if in a trance I cried, "Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks."

Thus I became a madman.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Madman

“তারপর ওরা হাত ধরে চুপ করে বসে রইলো । আর কোনো কথা নেই, সমস্ত কথার প্রয়োজন ফুরিয়ে গেছে । ওরা বসেই রইলো । ঘাট ক্রমশ নির্জন হয়ে আসছে । বাতাস বইছে বেশ জোরে । বজরাগুলো ও ফিরে যাচ্ছে । সবাই ঘরে ফিরছে । এই দুজনের যেন কোনো ঘরবাড়ি নেই, কথাও ফিরতে হবেনা । এরকম একটি অনন্তকালের দৃশ্য হয়ে ওরা বসেই থাকবে ।”
