Quote by Kathleen Jamie

“…I grew to appreciate the company of people who listen to the world. They don’t feel the need to talk all the while. They were alert to bird-cries, waves sucking on rocks, a rope frittering against a mast.”

“Every time I create something, whether an idea or a work of art, initially, its supposed completion seems absolutely perfect to me. However the more I think about it, stare it down, the more it marinates in my soul over the hours, days, and weeks, the more flaws I start to find in it; and finally, the more I'm pressed to continue enhancing it. It essentially turns out that whatever thing a flawed and imperfect, human eye once thought was amazing begins to appear quite wretched. This is why, eternally, God cannot be impressed by mere talents or by mortal achievements. To perfect eyes, I imagine that great is not really that great; rather, humility is ultimately a human being's true greatness.”

“Complicated world, complicated words. The best way to communicate is silence, but even silence can be misunderstood. I stand here saying nothing. Why can’t you understand my silence? I’m standing here screaming my head off, but no sound is coming out. I have to accept that no one can hear me. I’m invisible, I’m soundless. Within my world, and only within my world do I exist, but out here, no one can see me, no one can hear me. I’m the only one here, screaming my head off, in the most beautiful, silent sound. Loud am I, when nothing can be heard. Silence is my language till everyone learns to hear. Listen and feel the silence within you, without you.”

“ঘরে ফিরে মনে হয় বড়ো বেশি কথা বলা হলো? চতুরতা, ক্লান্ত লাগে খুব? মনে হয় ফিরে এসে স্নান করে ধূপ জ্বেলে চুপ করে নীলকুঠুরিতে বসে থাকি? কী-বা আসে যায় লোকে বলবে মূর্খ বড়ো, লোকে বলবে সামাজিক নয়।”
