“When I have neither pleasure nor pain and have been breathing for a while the lukewarm insipid air of these so called good and tolerable days, I feel so bad in my childish soul that I smash my moldering lyre of thanksgiving in the face of the slumbering god of contentment and would rather feel tle very devil burn in me than this warmth of a well-heated room. A wild longing for strong emotions and sensations seethes in me, a rage against this toneless, flat, normal and sterile life. I have a mad impulse to smash something, a warehouse, perhaps, or a cathedral, or myself, to commit outrages, to pull off the wigs of a few revered idols, to provide a few rebellious schoolboys with the longed-for ticket to Hamburg, or to stand one or two representatives of the established order on their heads. For what I always hated and detested and cursed above all things was this contentment, this healthiness and comfort, this carefully preserved optimism of the middle classes, this fat and prosperous brood of mediocrity.”

“জীবনযাত্রার মান নিয়ে মানুষের রুচি এবং সংস্কৃতি বিচার এবং তার ভিত্তিতে পরিবারবিশেষের সামাজিক অবস্থান নির্ণয় (যা সবসময়ই নিজেদের তুলনায় নিম্নস্তরে) মধ্যবিত্ত বাঙালি জীবনের এক করুণ প্রহসন।”
