“...মনে হয় যেন খুব বেশি বলা হয়ে গেল এই কতদিনে। সমস্ত দিনের পর গভীর রাতে বাড়ি ফিরে গ্লানির মতো লাগে। কথা, কথা যেন একটু চুপ ছিল না কোথাও, থাকতে নেই, হাতে হাত রাখতে নেই। যে-নীরবকে খুঁজতে বেরিয়েছিলে, সবাই মিলে, কোথায় সেসব মিলিয়ে গেল বাতাসে, যেন সেসব জানতে নেই কখনও। ...তাই মনে হয় লিখতে হবে নিঃশব্দে কবিতা, এবং নিঃশব্দ কবিতা। শব্দই জানে কেমন করে সে নিঃশব্দ পায়।”

“And so now. Listen to yourself. Tune in. What do you want?’ “What do I want?” he repeated. He thought. And instantly, he knew. Andrei’s heart pounded while the suite was still. In fact, it was the type of stillness that men and women knew all too well. That familiar, embarrassing calm, which in seconds usually soared an unquestionable fact. Minds in that room could only come to the single conclusion Andrei feared to admit. “I want to...” And Andrei, taking Mars’ hands in his, bent over and kissed her with an angle of awe and the timing of gratitude. “Right,” she said, knowingly. “Did you know I was going to do that? Was that weird?” “Why explain feelings, Andrei?” she professed sincerely. “We’ll end up dissatisfied. If you feel the truth, so do I. That’s how rooms work. You have to keep doing that. Listening carefully, then acting fiercely. It’s a contrasting relationship.”
