“Because here’s another sneaky little truth about life. You can’t be an important and life-changing presence for some people without also being a joke and an embarrassment to others. You just can’t. Because there’s no such thing as a lack of adversity. It doesn’t exist. The old saying goes that no matter where you go, there you are. Well, the same is true for adversity and failure. No matter where you go, there’s a five-hundred-pound load of shit waiting for you. And that’s perfectly fine. The point isn’t to get away from the shit. The point is to find the shit you enjoy dealing with.”

“We come from this earth and we will return to this earth. The word human is a derivative of the word humus. We spring from the same soil that houses our ancestor’s great sleep. We walk on the fossilized bones and decomposed flesh of all the people and every species that traversed the earth before our time. It is humbling and reassuring to know that I entered this life-giving sphere only after so many good people came before me to consecrate this land with their vitality and knowing that we share the universal story of struggle. It is consoling understanding that after I die Mother Earth will turn my decomposed shell into a new form of life. My decaying body will provide nutrients for life that will rise after I die. Until the soil opens up to receive me as its own child, I must take a stand and make the most out of the sunshine and rainstorms that beat down upon all people alike.”

“বাক্যটি আজ পর্যন্ত ভুলতে পারে নি বাবর। যে লিখেছে জগৎ সে চিনে। যে লিখেছে সে নিজে প্রতারিত। পৃথিবী সম্পর্কে তার একটিমাত্র মন্তব্য বাথরুমের দেয়ালে সে উৎকীর্ণ করে রেখেছে- খেলারাম খেলে যা। কতদিন বাবর কানে স্পষ্ট শুনতে পেয়েছে কথাটা।”
