Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“It's very much likely that no one will care for your agonies and miseries, if you choose the path of service over the path of everyday pleasures. To them you will be a pillar of strength, standing high and quite lifeless to erase people's miseries and confusions... Knowing this, if you still can’t hold yourself from running to the aid of the helpless and downtrodden, then my friend, there is no power in any obscurity to keep you from uplifting the society.”

“And there is Jules. You might like him the best. He is the one who takes care of us all. He is the reason we're all okay and still together. I don't think he knows we know that, but we do. Sometimes he might tell us what to do or not listen, but he would do anything for any of us. People say we're unlucky because we don't have parents. But I think they're unlucky because they don't have a brother like mine.”

“In Line of Service (The Sonnet) World is my Louisiana, I am its Mississippi. Whenever it's in trouble, My blood boils in agony. Each drop of tear around, Makes my bones ignite. My life finds its meaning, As I respond to their plight. Joy is only joy to me, When I bring it to others. If gained in line of service, Even wounds are my treasures. Once I die for the people’s future, Then I can live in peace forever.”

“I gave my youth to humanity, the most precious gift anybody could offer - but I am not asking you to do the same - all I am asking is step up wherever you see injustice - step up wherever you see bigotry - step up wherever you see savagery.”
