Quote by Jayita Bhattacharjee

“You smile, and a flower opens; You cry, and the sky weeps. You dance, and spring comes to the earth. You sing, and birdsongs fill the sky. Is this you, the soul of the universe?”

“तल जीवनहरूले रहरहरूसँग खेलिरहेको देखिँदैन आकाशबाट न त पाखाहरूको सहनशीलता भत्किएर खसेका पैह्राहरूका घाउका गहिराइ देखिन्छन् ।”

“बादल लागेको आकाशबाट आँखासँगै टाँसिएको आकाश पनि देखिँदैन तलतल नै दौडिन्छ, बतास पनि देखिँदैन। न त आँधी बोकेर थर्थराएका रुखहरूको मनको कम्पन देखिन्छ।”

“Men may perish, but the world will neither celebrate nor mourn. It will go on.' His smile thinned. 'Would you like to know how?' 'No.' 'Animals will swell to fill the void left by men," he told her. 'And over-swell it, perhaps. There will be other extinctions and other recoveries. The sky will clear, but those who see it will not marvel at its many colors. Those ruins will collapse, burying treasures like this-' He waved at the walls. '-and this-' He picked up the spoon from her coffee tray and tossed it down again with a clatter. '-forever, but the world will go on. Years become centuries so easily when no one is there to count them. Centuries become millennia. The forests will reclaim the lands that Men have razed. Rivers will carve canyons across the scars left by this fallen cities. Mountains will rise up, trapping seas to dry under and uncaring sun and leaving the bones of whales to bleach in the newborn deserts for no one to find, no one to be inspired by thoughts of giants and dragons. And still the worlds will go on, and I will go on with it through ages that can only be measured by the coming and going of glaciers. The stars themselves will shift in the heavens and no one will be there to invent names for their new alignments or remember the stories of the old ones, no one but me. In time, the sun itself will begin to cool. Here on Earth, the world goes on and on as its remaining life passes through its last changes and dies away. It will be quiet. And lonely.' His mouth curved into a bitter line. 'But I'll live.' 'Stop it,' Lan whispered through numb lips. 'I read once that the sun will someday swell and engulf this world before it burns itself out. Perhaps I will finally die with it. Or perhaps I' will continue to endure... my ashes pulled eternally apart through the frozen vacuum of space, and I with no more mouth to scream... still alive.”
