Quote by Darynda Jones

“I was busy perusing the suicide notes and waiting for Belvedere's water to finish its treatment when I heard a thud from Cookie's office. Then a mousy squeak. The a throaty moan. "Cookie," I said, wiggling my fingers at Belvedere to get him acquainted to with our strange ways, "are you masturbating?" "No, I got a paper cut." Oh, I didn't see that coming.”

“We compete on various levels as humans. Popularity. Intellectual capacity. Social status. Titles. Monetary superiority. Physical strength and fitness. Beauty. Ability to get romantic partners. Power. Influence. Morality. Talents. Skills. Achievements. Awards. Recognition. Personal qualities. Even a nun, a priest of the highest echelon, and the religious worker taking photos with random children in Africa, are competing for superior morality and recognition for their selfless deeds. Just because your inherent needs for recognition differ from those next to you does not mean you are free of them.”

“মন খারাপের মুহূর্তে হঠাৎ যদি কেউ হারিয়ে যাওয়া নাম ধরে ডেকে ওঠে, মনটা যেন লহমায় ভাল হয়ে যায়। সংসারের মালিন্য, বেঁচে থাকার জটিলতা, প্রাপ্তি-অপ্রাপ্তির হাহুতাশ কিছুই যেন আর স্মরণে থাকে না। বুকের ভেতর ঘুমিয়ে আছে এক টাইম মেশিন, সোঁ সোঁ করে ছুটতে থাকে সে, হু হু করে কমে যায় বয়স।”
