Quote by Jayita Bhattacharjee

“There is a place where dawn is born of night, there is the space where spring is born of winter's last cry, there is a field where despairs burn into dreams. Such is the holy transformation!”

Should you treat him the same as a stranger?” “You ask a question that philosophers argue over,” Chiron had said. “He is worth more to you, perhaps.
