“Do you think I am an automaton? �� a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! �� I have as much soul as you �� and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal �� as we are!”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

“As a matter of fact it wouldn’t be safe to tell any man the truth about his wife! Funnily enough, I’d trust most women with the truth about their husbands. Women can accept the fact that a man is a rotter, a swindler, a drug taker, a confirmed liar, and a general swine, without batting an eyelash, and without its impairing their affection for the brute in the least. Women are wonderful realists.”
― Agatha Christie, Murder in Mesopotamia

“The world is not beautiful. Therefore it is.”
― Keiichi Sigsawa, Kino no Tabi: The Beautiful World

“...সবাই নিজেকে ভোলায়। খিদে-তেষ্টা পেলে তা মেটানো, ঘু�� পেলে ঘুমানো, এস�� ছাড়া জীবনটা আমাদের বানানো, নিজেকে ভোলানো�� জন্য ছাড়া বানানো�� কষ্ট কে স্বীকা�� কর��? বেশিরভাগ মানুষে�� এট�� বুঝবার ক্ষমতা থাকে না, সারাজীবন ভুলও ভাঙে না, বুঝতেই যদ�� না পারা যা��, ভু�� তব�� আর কিসে�� ভু��? কে�� কে�� টে�� পেয়ে যা��, তাদে�� হয় কষ্ট�� জীবনকে যারা বুঝে, বিশ্লেষণ কর�� বাঁচতে চা�� এই জন্য তারা বড় দুঃখী�� বড় যা কিছু আঁকড়�� ধরতে পা�� তা�� ভুয়ো�� এই জন্য এই ধরনে�� লোকে�� মন�� জীবন থেকে বড় কিছু প্রত্যাশ�� থাকা বড় খারা��- যত বড় প্রত্যাশ�� তত বড় দুঃখ পা��”

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

“তা যেতা�� ছোটবাব�� ! স্পষ্ট কর�� ডাকা দূরে থা��, ইশার�� কর�� ডাকল�� ছুটে যেতাম। চিরদিন কি একরক�� যা��? মানু�� কি লোহা�� গড়��, যে চিরকাল সে এরকম থাকব��, বদলাবে না? বলতে বসেছ�� যখ�� কড়�� করেই বল��, আজ হা�� ধর�� টানল�� �� আম�� যা�� না��”

“Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn't stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren't having any of those.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
