“আন্ধার আর সুমসাম কুঠুরিতে একলা থাকলেই আমার খালি খালি নরক আর শয়তানের কথা মনে আহে। নরক যাওনের রাস্তাঘাটগুলা চিনা নাই, চিনাজানা থাকলে মাঝেমধ্যি আওন-যাওন যাইতো। পূজা-পাইলের দিনে তেহার-পরবে ঐহানে গিয়ে দুই একদিনের লাইগ্যা ঘুইর্যা আওন যাইতো। ... হয়তানের কথা হগল সময়ে মনে আহে, অর কথা ভাইব্যা-ভাইব্যা শরীল নিপাত করি, অথচো কোন কুলকিনারা পাই না। ক্যান জানি মনে হয়, হয়তানে আমার কাছে পিঠেই আছে। ...যারে দেহি তারেই জিগাই, ‘এখানে শ্রীযুক্ত বাবু শয়তান নামে কেউ থাকেন কি?”

“I personally believe (and I know many readers will find this controversial) that we should never engage with any writers or scholars whose work is intentionally Euro-American centered and purposely ignores or refuses to engage with knowledge produced by thinkers outside the West. In other words, in knowledge production, reciprocate treatment (whether in engagement or citation) can be effective in challenging and changing the rules of the game.”
