“Theres a girl with brown eyes that reminds me of the first book I ever loved. When I look at her, I feel like there might be another universe in her. I imagine her on a shelf to high for me to reach, or peeking out of someone else's backpack, or at the end of a long wait at the library. I know there are other books that are easier to get my hands on, but none are half as good as her. Every part of her seems to have a purpose. A specific meaning, an exact reason for being how, and what, and where it is. So, the word I would choose to describe her is deliberate.”

“Our metaphors for the operation of the brain are frequently drawn from the production line. We think of the brain as a glorified sausage machine, taking in information from the senses, processing it and regurgitating it in a different form, as thoughts or actions. The digital computer reinforces this idea because it is quite explicitly a machine that does to information what a sausage machine does to pork. Indeed, the brain was the original inspiration and metaphor for the development of the digital computer, and early computers were often described as 'giant brains'. Unfortunately, neuroscientists have sometimes turned this analogy on its head, and based their models of brain function on the workings of the digital computer (for example by assuming that memory is separate and distinct from processing, as it is in a computer). This makes the whole metaphor dangerously self-reinforcing.”

“दामिनी सी मुस्कान, व्यंग्य के समान, सुखाकर रक्त तप्त, हरता है प्राण, करता उपहास, कर पुष्प में निवास, रच विष कूट, स्वयं मधुमय मिठास, कोयल सा मधुर, झरनों का संगीत, मृत्यु का कोलाहल बन करता भीत।”
