All that stirring of old instincts which at stated periods drives men out from the sounding cities to forest and plain to kill things by chemically propelled leaden pellets, the blood lust, the joy to kill—all this was Buck's, only it was ...more

“অসংখ্য অপরিচিত জ্যোতিষ্কের নিঃশব্দতা মাঝে
মেলিনু নয়ন; জানিলাম একাকীর নাই ভয়,
ভয় জনতার মাঝে; একাকীর কোনো লজ্জা নাই,
লজ্জা শুধু যেথা সেথা যার তার চক্ষুর ইঙ্গিতে।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, প্রান্তিক

“সবাই এগিয়ে চলছে। আমি রয়ে গেছি সেই একাত্তরেই। একাত্তরে থেকেই আমি এগিয়ে চলছি। সহযাত্রীরা হয়তো দেখছেন যে আমি কালের এক খণ্ডে থিতু হয়ে গেছি।

গতিময় পৃথিবীর আমার প্রয়োজন নেই। গতানুগতিক সূর্য কাল সকালে না উঠলেও আমার কিছু যায় আসে না”
― Qamrul Hassan Bhuiyan, বিজয়ী হয়ে ফিরব নইলে ফিরবই না

“I always think fondly of my years inside Detention Center LC/766B.

The women and the children I met had all lost people they loved, but they never wallowed in despair.

Dying is one of the few experiences we'll eventually all enjoy firsthand, and like most shit that's commonplace, it's boring to dwell on.

My fellow inmates/classmates (and really, what's the difference?) showed me it was more interesting to concentrate on the living.

Because death is fucking predictable...

...but life has science experiments and free time and surprise naps and who knows what comes next?”
― Brian K. Vaughan, Saga #36
