“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”

“Your children are not your children.
They are sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you.
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For thir souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the make upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness.
For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He also loves the bow that is stable.”

“পৃথিবীতে ফিনিক ফোঁটা জ্যোৎস্না আসবে,
শ্রাবণ মাসে টিনের চালে বৃষ্টির সেতার বাজবে,
সেই অলৌকিক সংগীত শোনার জন্য আমি থাকবো না, কোনো মানে হয়?”
