Quote by Nguyễn Nhật Ánh

“Bọn cún chúng tôi căn bản là thân thiện với loài người. Loài người yêu thương chúng tôi và chúng tôi đáp lại bằng một tình cảm còn sâu sắc hơn. Tình cảm đó không cần phải học. Nó như một thứ bản năng có sẵn trong máu. Thậm chí, tình yêu và lòng tin vô điều kiện đó có thể được coi như một phẩm giá. Nhưng không phải những gì thuộc về loài người đều tốt. Lão Hiếng thuộc về loài người. Nhưng lão không tốt. Vì thế chúng tôi phải trả giá cho sự tin cậy của mình. Khi bạn quá tin cậy hoặc sùng bái một ai, chắc chắn bạn không bao giờ đề phòng, thậm chí nghi ngờ. Và đôi khi bạn chết vì niềm tin ngây thơ của mình.”

“Something else emerges from this discussion about us as human individuals: we're not fixed, stable intellects riding along peering at the world through the lenses of our eyes like the pilots of people-shaped spacecraft. We are affected constantly by what's going on around us. Whether our flexibility is based in neuroplasticity or in less dramatic aspects of the brain, we have to start acknowledging that we are mutable, persuadable and vulnerable to clever distortions, and that very often what we want to be is a matter of constant effort rather than attaining a given state and then forgetting about it. Being human isn't like hanging your hat on a hook and leaving it there, it's like walking in a high wind: you have to keep paying attention. You have to be engaged with the world.”

“I went to interview some of these early Jewish colonial zealots—written off in those days as mere 'fringe' elements—and found that they called themselves Gush Emunim or—it sounded just as bad in English—'The Bloc of the Faithful.' Why not just say 'Party of God' and have done with it? At least they didn't have the nerve to say that they stole other people's land because their own home in Poland or Belarus had been taken from them. They said they took the land because god had given it to them from time immemorial. In the noisome town of Hebron, where all of life is focused on a supposedly sacred boneyard in a dank local cave, one of the world's less pretty sights is that of supposed yeshivah students toting submachine guns and humbling the Arab inhabitants. When I asked one of these charmers where he got his legal authority to be a squatter, he flung his hand, index finger outstretched, toward the sky.”

“আর কিছু নয় শুধু অগণন ভ্রান্তিবিলাস মানুষকে ঘিরে থাকে অনুক্ষণ। মানুষ অবিরাম দিনকে রাত হয়ে যেতে দেখেও বলে দিন কখনো রাত হয় না। মানুষ ভুলে যায় বীজে বৃক্ষের ছায়াও প্রচ্ছন্ন থাকে। টগরের গন্ধভরা চিরায়ত হাওয়া মানুষ পুরে রাখে টয়োটার টায়ারে, টায়ারে। বুঝি তাই মানুষ কাছে গেলে প্রকৃত সারস উড়ে যায়। মানুষ শঙ্খমালার অভিমান মনে রাখে না। টাপুর টুপুর বৃষ্টিতে মানুষ যে তিন কন্যার বিয়ে দেয়, জানে না কি হলো তাদের শেষে।”
