Quote by Monique Britten

“The first hockey shinny of the season was fast and rough. George noticed the guys played up to their personalities. Books was quick with the stick, played a bit dirty. He checked George more times than he needed to, but never illegally. Frank was a decent defenseman, joined the rush, didn’t start it. But Ron Barry, notwithstanding his showy antics, was by far the best player out there. He played by gut feel, which was usually right.”

“The good news is, you’re a part of the human race. And humans have never been and will never be short on it. No matter their credentials, humans are the most resilient animals to ever wear Levi’s. We have been dealing with it since saber-tooth tigers were a problem. Yet somehow we have always found a way, day-in and day-out, to deal with it. Whether it is big or small, our innate resilience is really extraordinary. Maybe our most extraordinary quality. I want to reassure you that even though we might not like it, we’re built to deal with it. And that your it builds character.”

“When I was studying in 12th/ Intermediate Level in Ravenshaw College, I read the novel "Train to Pakistan" by the great writer Khushwant Singh. I read the struggles and sadness of the people from both sides of the border in the partition that happened in 1947. I am poet, and I believe in love and peace. We the homo sapiens are capable of great things, but let us not get narrow minded and hate each other. Our world needs more loving hearts.”

“There is a quiet ache in the solitary darkness of a poet’s soul, which is unfathomable for many, but an unsuspected treasure at the same time. The treasure is in a silver casket, created with the ash of burnt shadows and the blazing fire of eternal struggles. It contains the ultimate secret – the secret of the cloud of unknowing flickering the purest transparent flower in bright but brief flashes of lightning.”
