“আধুনিক বিজ্ঞান মানুষকে দিয়েছে বেগ, কিন্তু কেড়ে নিয়েছে আবেগ। তাতে আছে গতির আনন্দ, নেই যতির আয়েস।”
― Binoy Mukhopadhyay (Jajabor), দৃষ্টিপাত

“Sudden Light

I have been here before,
But when or how I cannot tell:
I know the grass beyond the door,
The sweet keen smell,
The sighing sound, the lights around the shore.

You have been mine before,—
How long ago I may not know:
But just when at that swallow's soar
Your neck turn'd so,
Some veil did fall,—I knew it all of yore.

Has this been thus before?
And shall not thus time's eddying flight
Still with our lives our love restore
In death's despite,
And day and night yield one delight once more?”

“Curiosity is not a sin.... But we should exercise caution with our curiosity... yes, indeed.”

“There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.”
