“நாமும் மனிசப் பொறப்புதான் என்கிற நெனப்பு அவங்களுக்கு ஏன் இல்லே?”
Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai, Thottiyude Makan | തോട്ടിയുടെ മകന്‍

“வாயை அகலத் திறந்துகொண்டு, கண்ணெதிரே நிற்கிறது ஓர் உண்மை. ஏறிட்டுப் பார்த்தால் திடுக்கிட வைத்துவிடும். அதன் கரிய நிழல் மேலே விழுவதற்குமுன் தப்பிச் சென்றுவிட வேண்டும்.”
Thakazhi Sivasankara Pillai, ചെമ്മീൻ | Chemmeen | Prawn

“அவங்க விதி அவ்வளவுதான்."

"விதி! பின்னே எதுக்காக சாமி படத்துக்கு முன்னாடி கண்ணை மூடிக்கிட்டு நிக்கிறியாம்?”
