Quote by Sahir Ludhianvi

“मैं हर इक पल का शाइ'र हूँ हर इक पल मिरी कहानी है हर इक पल मेरी हस्ती है हर इक पल मिरी जवानी है रिश्तों का रूप बदलता है बुनियादें ख़त्म नहीं होतीं ख़्वाबों की और उमंगों की मीआदें ख़त्म नहीं होतीं हर फूल में तेरा रूप बसा हर फूल में तेरी जवानी है इक चेहरा तेरी निशानी है इक चेहरा मेरी निशानी है तुम को मुझ को जीवन-अमृत इन हाथों से ही पीना है इन की धड़कन में बसना है इन के साँसों में जीना है तू अपनी अदाएँ बख़्श इन्हें मैं अपनी वफ़ाएँ देता हूँ जो अपने लिए सोची थी कभी वो सारी दुआएँ देता हूँ”

“Harper: In your experience of the world. How do people change? Mormon Mother: Well it has something to do with God so it's not very nice. God splits the skin with a jagged thumbnail from throat to belly and then plunges a huge filthy hand in, he grabs hold of your bloody tubes and they slip to evade his grasp but he squeezes hard, he insists, he pulls and pulls till all your innards are yanked out and the pain! We can't even talk about that. And then he stuffs them back, dirty, tangled and torn. It's up to you to do the stitching. Harper: And then up you get. And walk around. Mormon Mother: Just mangled guts pretending. Harper: That's how people change.”

“We live, I suppose, in the unconfessed hope that the rules will at some point be broken, along with the normal course of things and custom and history, and that this will happen to us, that we will experience it, that we — that is, I alone — will be the ones to see it. We always aspire, I suppose, to being the chosen ones, and it is unlikely otherwise that we would be prepared to live out the entire course of an entire life, which, however short or long, gradually gets the better of us.”
