Quote by Carol Lee

“I was a very lonely child and it's funny but the first word that comes to my head is "starved". I felt starved of affection, starved of love and I felt that it wasn't OK to ask for it. Maybe there was a sense that if I deserved it, it would be there. There must be something I'd done which meant I didn't deserve it.”

“কতো দেহ এলো,- গেল,- হাত ছুঁয়ে-ছুঁয়ে দিয়াছি ফিরায়ে সব,- সমুদ্রের জলে দেহ ধুয়ে নক্ষত্রের তলে বসে আছি,- সমুদ্রের জলে দেহ ধুয়ে নিয়া তুমি কি আসিবে কাছে”

“তোমার শরীর ,- তাই নিয়ে এসেছিলে একবার;- তারপর,- মানুষের ভিড় রাত্রি আর দিন তোমারে নিয়েছে ডেকে কোন দিকে জানিনি তা,- হয়েছে মলিন চক্ষু এই;- ছিঁড়ে গেছি- ফেড়ে গেছি ,- পৃথিবীর পথ হেঁটে হেঁটে কত দিন রাত্রি গেছে কেটে !”

“Too often, people carry around so much pain in their hearts, that they surround their hearts with an impenetrable wall. In order to make up for the lack of love, people change their focus from their hearts to their brains. The limbic system of the brain likes to collect things and declare its territory. Sadly, because most people lack the courage to open up their hearts again (to possibly being hurt once again), they try to substitute physical assets for the lack of joy that can only be found in the heart. The Demiurge is very happy if you are living in your brain and take your pleasure from acquiring objects, rather than through the many varieties of love. Material possessions bring a kind of fleeting pleasure, but they will never provide a deep joy. Only love brings joy. And to love, one needs to be aware.”
