“ক্যাঙারু , ভাই ক্যাঙারু! তুমি অস্ট্রেলিয়ার আত্মা এই ব্যর্থতা থেকে পরিত্রাণ এই নির্জনতার সঙ্গী তোমারই জন্যে তৈরি হয়েছে পৃথিবীর এই পঞ্চম, ঘন মহাদেশ, যেন নতুন জন্ম হলো তার, যেন আদিযুগে সে তো ছিল না, (গোড়ার কাজটা ভালো লেগেছিল, সেই প্রেরণায় ঈশ্বর, তাঁর আপন সৃষ্টি আশীর্বাদ করেছেন) প্রথম পাপেই উঠে এল এই মহাদেশ, সেই অভিশাপ থেকে আজ এ-বন্ধ্যা জঙ্গল! ক্যাঙারু, ভাই ক্যাঙারু! একনজরে তো অসংগতিই দেখেছি পরমুহূর্তে গোলমাল মিটে”

“I Keep Six Honest Serving Men ..." I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who. I send them over land and sea, I send them east and west; But after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest. I let them rest from nine till five, For I am busy then, As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea, For they are hungry men. But different folk have different views; I know a person small— She keeps ten million serving-men, Who get no rest at all! She sends'em abroad on her own affairs, From the second she opens her eyes— One million Hows, two million Wheres, And seven million Whys!”

“In truth, Kipling's politics are not mine. But then, it would be a poor sort of world if one were only able to read authors who expressed points of view that one agreed with entirely. It would be a bland sort of world if we could not spend time with people who thought differently, and who saw the world from a different place.”

“If you can try to nap where someone's sitting, Although there is another empty chair, Then rub against his ankle without quitting Until he rises from your favorite lair; If you can whine and whimper by a portal Until the bolted door is opened wide, Then howl as if you've got a wound that's mortal Until he comes and lets you back inside; If you can give a guest a nasty spiking, But purr when you are petted by a thief; If you can find the food not to your liking Because they put some cheese in with the beef; If you can leave no proffered hand unbitten, And pay no heed to any rule or ban, then all will say you are a Cat, my kitten. And -- which is more -- you'll make a fool of Man!”
