Quotes by Dhan Gopal Mukerji (?)

“What a pity that most young people instead of seeing one animal in nature--which is worth a hundred in any Zoo--must derive their knowledge of God's creatures from their appearance in prisons. ... How do we manage to think that we know all about an animal by gazing at him penned in a cage?”
― Dhan Gopal Mukerji, Gay-Neck: The Story of a Pigeon

“Never go to sleep with bad thoughts and torturing memories. They will not help you to wake up whole and fully serene—the two states of mind and body without which no man can acquit himself well at his day's task. A child should be ushered into the chamber of sleep with serene joy.”
― Dhan Gopal Mukerji, Ghond the Hunter

“Have you ever heard silence? It is not a stillness which is the absence of sound. Silence is not empty, it is full of content. It is like the sky―intangible yet containing the stars, the sun, the moon, and all existence. That is silence and it is full of tongues.”
― Dhan Gopal Mukerji, Ghond the Hunter
