“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events. He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics. The imbecile doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”
― Bertolt Brecht

“সকলের ভেতরেই বোধহয় এইরকম আরো একটা আলাদা সংসার পাতা থাকে, সেখানে সে তার খেলার পুতুলের জন্য নিজের যথাসর্বস্ব দ্যায়, এক টুকরো ভাঙা কাচের জন্য বুক ভরে কাঁদে, নিছক কাগজের নৌকা ডুবে গেলে একেবারে সর্বস্বান্ত হয়ে যায়...”
― Mahmudul Haque, কালো বরফ

“In life you'll meet a lot of jerks. If they hurt you, tell yourself that it's because they're stupid. That will help keep you from reacting to their cruelty. Because there is nothing worse than bitterness and vengeance... Always keep your dignity and be true to yourself.”
― Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood

“Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
