Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 12 After all this time, the sun doesn't say to us, Listen you guys, you owe all your light to me. The trees don’t grab our throat with its vines, And yell, all your air and food are my charity. A candle does not burn to be appraised, But because to burn is the purpose of a candle. A candle not burning is no candle at all, Be a burning candle and live life purpose-driven. Life is a vessel of infinite majesty and potential, Let us not let it rot at the shore playing safe. Come hail or high water, let us be shredded, Let us be annihilated in service and in help. Let us be human, let us be alive across all narrowness. Let us be the shinning beacon of supreme unselfishness.”

“Don't shame him! Your father is very proud. You don't know this, but he graduated from the best college in Korea, the very top, and he doesn't need to talk about selling fruits and vegetables. It's below him. He only does it for you, Byong-ho, he does everything for you. Now go and keep him company...I would learn in subsequent years that he had been trained as an industrial engineer, and had actually completed a master's degree.”

“This wasn't how I saw our grand rescue going," Aden whispered. His voice was rough, almost shaky, "I knew I'd never deserve you, but I'd hoped for more time to try." Him deserve me? I hadn't heard correctly. My head was too light to get a grasp on any of this. "I said I'd never send you where I didn't dare go, yet here we are." A wry chuckle. "I know it makes you uncomfortable, but I can't let you enter that room without telling you how I feel. You've changed me, Laney Garrow. You opened my eyes long before those pirates came. And then they made me a prisoner, and I thought I was alone in the world, but you jumped through that window...well, it made me decide something. If we do survive this, my first act as king will be to rescind my father's Edict. I don't know much about ruling a country, but I do refuse to become a monster. Women like you deserve as much freedom in this world as any man. I won't be the one to take it away.”
