“Pero entonces, ¿qué es amor? Amor es presuponer amor; tener amor significa presuponer amor en los demás, ser amoroso significa presuponer que los demás son amorosos.”

“Pues amar a Dios significa amarse de verdad a uno mismo; ayudar a otro ser humano a que ame a Dios es amar a otro ser humano; ser ayudado por otro ser humano para amar a Dios significa ser amado.”

“সময় ফিরে পাওয়া যায় না। সময় চলে যায় নির্মম, ঘাতক, নিয়তিসমান সময়। সময় জাহ্নবী, শোক বেলাভূমি। সময়ের স্রোতে শোকের ওপর পলিমাটি চাপা পড়ে। তারপর একদিন সেই পলিমাটি ফুঁড়ে নতুন নতুন অঙ্কুরের আঙুল বেরোয়। আঙুলগুলো আকাশপানে আবার উঠতে চায়। আশার, বেদনার, সুখের, আনন্দের অঙ্কুরের আঙুল।”

“One of the hallmarks of Western liberalism is an assumption in hindsight of virtuous resistance as the only polite expectation of people on the receiving end of colonialism. While the terrible thing is happening, while the land is still being stolen, and the natives still being killed, any form of opposition is terroristic and must be crushed for the sake of civilization. But decades, centuries later, when enough of the land has been stolen and enough of the natives killed, it is safe enough to venerate resistance in hindsight. I tell stories for a living and there’s a thick thread of narrative by well-meaning white Westerners that exalts the native populations in so many parts of the world for standing up to the occupiers. Makes of their narrative a neat, reflexive arc in which it was always understood by the colonized and, this part implied, the descendants of the colonizer, that what happened was wrong.”
