“I’ll tell you this – truly -  I can’t trust you , or rely on you.  The man I’m going to marry,  he is wealthy, and more than that, he is intelligent, steady, and moral.  My parents, who love me, and wish me to be happy,  would never give me away to a thoughtless, restless, devil-driven creature like you! Now let me go!.”
― Sarat Chandra Chattopadhya, Devdas

“পুরুষমানুষ যত মন্দই হয়ে যাক, ভাল হতে চাইলে তাকে ত কেউ মানা করে না; কিন্তু আমাদের বেলাই সব পথ বন্ধ কেন? অজ্ঞানে, অভাবে পড়ে একদিন যা করেচি, চিরকাল আমাকে তাই করতে হবে কেন? কেন আমাদের তোমরা ভাল হতে দেবে না?”

“You can never know if a person forgives you when you wrong them. Therefore it is existentially important to you. It is a question you are intensely concerned with. Neither can you know whether a person loves you. It’s something you just have to believe or hope. But these things are more important to you than the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. You don't think about the law of cause and effect or about modes of perception when you are in the middle of your first kiss.”
― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy

Part of every misery is, so to speak, the misery's shadow or reflection: the fact that you don't merely suffer but have to keep on thinking about the fact that you suffer. I not only live each endless day in grief, but live each day thinking about living each day in grief.”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

It is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound as long as you are merely using it to cord a box. But suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice. Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

“Talk to me about the truth of religion and I'll listen gladly. Talk to me about the duty of religion and I'll listen submissively. But don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion or I shall suspect that you don't understand.”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

“I thought I could describe a state; make a map of sorrow. Sorrow, hoever, turns out to be not a state but a process.”

“It doesn't really matter whether you grip the arms of the dentist's chair or let your hands lie in your lap. The drill drills on.”
― C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed

“It hurts to love. It's like giving yourself to be flayed and knowing that at any moment the other person may just walk off with your skin.”
