Quote by Avijeet Das

“When I read that my words can inspire a little girl (daughter of a fellow artist), who suffers from a rare disease in which no hair grows on her head, I feel my struggle is worth it. Why do we give so much importance to our external looks? A beautiful heart that is inside us will remain beautiful forever. Our hearts are not black or white. Neither are our hearts fat or thin. Our hearts only beat for love. Our hearts are the same! Our hearts only want love!”

“To keep faith in mortal life, then, is to remain vulnerable to a pain that no strength can finally master. Mortality is not only intrinsic to what makes life meaningful, but also makes life susceptible to lose meaning and become unbearable. The point is not to overcome this vulnerability but to recognize that it is an essential part of why our lifes matter and why we care. (49)”

“For a long time I have had the recurring and sentimental wish that I could go back to the early 1990s and just hold onto my younger self, tightly, the way she needed, and not pay attention to her protestations that she was 'fine.' Because I know what I would say to her. I would embrace her and I would tell her that I know she is lonely, that I know she feels lost, that I know she feels worthless. And then, because she is not me, and because she is me, I would assure her that there is something about her, something amazing, something lovable, something special, something beautiful, something fragile, something strong, something worth fighting for.”
