“পৃথিবীর রাঙা রাজকন্যাদের মতাে সে যে চলে গেছে রূপ নিয়ে দূরে; আবার তাহারে কেন ডেকে আন? কে হায় হৃদয় খুঁড়ে বেদনা জাগাতে ভালােবাসে! হায় চিল, সােনালি ডানার চিল, এই ভিজে মেঘের দুপুরে তুমি আর উড়ে উড়ে কেঁদো নাকো ধানসিড়ি নদীটির পাশে।”

“If you're an artist, always keep at it, there will be someone out there who sees the universe and soul in what you've created. Maybe they can't afford it, but it calls them like the siren in a sea, and they've saved for months and scraped, thinking all the time about how one piece you made has moved them. You can change a person's moment with your work, don't forget that. If you're an author, someone out there has read your work. They've laughed with your characters. They've cried with them. They've escaped into your fantasy or memories, and they've been changed by you. Nothing they do afterward will be the same. You will forever make them different and who they will become. Please don't forget that. If you're a singer or musician, you inspire others. People sing when they feel great emotion. If you're one of those who bursts into song at a moment's notice, imagine what that can do to brighten someone else's day. People are listening. They see you, who you really are. They are feeling the magic of those moments with you. You never know who's life you can change. You never know who is listening. Never forget that. It doesn't matter what kind of magic you create, don't ever stop. There is beauty, pain, and so many other things that depend on you to continue. Never stop. Let the world see your magic. Perform your craft with all of the fibers of your being. Shine with your light. Edge with your darkness. Do what you must, but never stop. Your creations are a gift to the world, so give with all your might. You never know who might need it.”
