Quote by Munindra Misra

“On Pt. K.L. Misra To write about him is to write about Greatness. To discuss him is to discuss Intellectual Brilliance. To think of him is to think of Modesty, Simplicity and Lucidity. To remember him is to remember Nationalism at its finest hour. He was not one of those who merely achieved greatness nor certainly one of those upon whom greatness was thrust-he was in fact born great. - Siddharth Shankar Ray, Senior Advocate”

“Las últimas palabras me gustan tanto como las primeras, aunque no exactamente en el mismo sentido que a Miles Halter. Me encantan las últimas palabras que pronuncian los criminales antes de ser ejecutados, cuando intentan ser ingeniosos recordándole al pelotón de ejecución que no tienen todo el día; o cuando insisten en su inocencia, lo cual lleva a uno a comprender lo irreversible que es la pena de muerte. ¿Cuántas veces se ha demostrado que el asesino era otro después de la muerte de un inocente atrapado en una situación terrible? Me encantan las últimas palabras de los poetas, escritores y dramaturgos que dejan bellas notas de suicidio o cantan al amor en su lecho de muerte. Y también las de las personas que son fieles a la profesión hasta el último aliento, como los gramáticos o esos bichos raros obsesionados con los tecnicismos de las palabras, que antes de dejar esta vida exclaman algo similar a: «"Me estoy muriendo" o "Estoy a punto de morirme", ambas son correctas.”

“Lucas crept around the building to the back parking lot. And there it was, just like he had seen from the roof—a baby lying in a shopping cart. Lucas’s mind went negative. What if the kid was dead? He tried to think if he had ever seen a dead person before. He’d never been to a funeral, and he knew he had never seen a dead baby. And he definitely didn’t want to. His heart pounded in his chest. Lucas walked, almost tiptoed, toward the shopping cart. The last of the parking lot lights flickered out, leav-ing only the early morning sun. He moved across the blacktop, making sure not to step on a white line. At this moment he needed all the luck he could muster. As he got closer to the cart, he held his breath and swallowed. Then he grabbed the shopping cart handle and looked over into the basket. He gasped.”
