“Governments like it that way. They want their people to see war as a drama of opposites, good and evil, “them” and “us,” victory or defeat. But war is primarily not about victory or defeat but about death and the infliction of death. It represents the total failure of the human spirit.”

“যে জিনিস যত দুষ্প্রাপ্য মানুষের মনের কাছে তাহার মূল্য অনেক বেশি। এ কথা খুবই সত্য যে, এই মূল্য মানুষের মনগড়া একটি কৃত্রিম মূল্য, প্রার্থিত জিনিসের সত্যকার উৎকর্ষ বা অপকর্ষের সঙ্গে এর কোন সম্বন্ধ নাই। কিন্তু জগতের অধিকাংশ জিনিসের উপরই একটি কৃত্রিম মূল্য আরোপ করিয়াই তো আমরা তাকে বড় বা ছোট করি।”

“এই জনহীন প্রান্তর, এই রহস্যময়ী রাত্রি, অচেনা নক্ষত্রে ভরা আকাশ, এই বিপদের আশঙ্কা - এইতো জীবন। শান্ত নিরাপদ জীবন নিরীহ কেরানীর জীবন হতে পারে - তার নয় -”

“when we were kids
laying around the lawn
on our
bellies
we often talked
about
how
we'd like to
die
and
we all
agreed on the
same
thing;
we'd all
like to die
fucking
(although
none of us
had
done any
fucking)
and now
that
we are hardly
kids
any longer
we think more
about
how
not to
die
and
although
we're
ready
most of
us
would
prefer to
do it
alone
under the
sheets
now
that
most of
us
have fucked
our lives
away.”
