Quotes from Gora

“পৃথিবীতে যারা মুখ ফুটে নালিশ করতে পারে না, চুপ করে থাকে, তারাই উলটে আসামি হয়।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

“শক্তির দুটো অংশ আছে — এক অংশ ব্যক্ত আর-এক অংশ অব্যক্ত, এক অংশ উদ্যোগ আর-এক অংশ বিশ্রাম, এক অংশ প্রয়োগ আর-এক অংশ সংবরণ — শক্তির এই সামঞ্জস্য যদি নষ্ট করে তাহলে সে ক্ষুব্ধ হয়ে ওঠে, কিন্তু সে ক্ষোভ মঙ্গলকর নয়।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

“I have only one prayer to offer to God, and it is that when I have been driven out of every society He will give me shelter at His own feet.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

“নিন্দা করতে গেলে বাইরে থেকে করা যায়, কিন্তু বিচার করতে গেলে ভিতরে প্রবেশ করতে হয়।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

“আমার উপরে সত্য নির্ভর করছে , সত্যের উপরে আমি নির্ভর করছি নে' এরকম যাদের ধারণা তাদেরই বলে গোঁড়া ।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

“মতকে মত দিয়ে যুক্তিকে যুক্তি দিয়ে বাঁধা দেয়া চলে , কিন্তু বুদ্ধির বিষয়কে ক্রোধ দিয়ে দণ্ড দেয়া বর্বরতা ।”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

“El destino del hombre es equivocarse, afanarse inútilmente y sufrir, pero lo que no puede es quedar estancado; sacrifica su vida en aras de lo que considera su deber.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

“আমাদের ইচ্ছা যদি অন্যায় ইচ্ছা না হয় এবং সে ইচ্ছা যদি কোনো-একটা সমাজের নিয়মের সঙ্গে আগাগোড়া না মিলে যায় তা হলেই আমাদের মাথা হেঁট করে ফিরে যেতে হবে এ আমি কোনোমতেই বুঝতে পাড়ি নে । সমাজে মিথ্যা ব্যাবহারের স্থান আছে আর স্থান নেই ন্যায় আচরনের ?”
― Rabindranath Tagore, quote from Gora

“You're going to be okay," Winter said reassuringly.
You don't understand," Leven snapped.
What don't I understand?" Winters voice was stern. "Sorry you feel bad, but its not like you just met a person so beautiful that now you feel completely worthless."
What?" Leven said. "What are you talking about?"
Isaw the way you fell over yourselves to stare at her."
That was Geth."
Don't argue, you two," Geth said.
Were not arguing." Leven felt light-headed.
No," Winter confirmed. "We're just...."
Winter looked at Leven. Leven looked right back at her. Winters cheeks burned red and her green eyes outshone Leven's. The two of them stared at one other. Leven closed his eyes.
What are you doing?" Geth asked, concerned.
Winter closed her eyes too and leaned closer. Both of them looked panicked and out of control, but it didn't stop them from moving closer and kissing each other.
Clovers jaw dropped and he pulled something out of his void just so he could let go of it in shock. Even Geth looked caught off guard, as if he'd been given news that he never thought he'd hear in his lifetime.
Leven stumbled back and looked at Winter. His face was almost as red as hers. He looked at Geth and Clover and then back to Winter.
Well that was interesting," Clover said happily.
I don't know what....." Leven tried to say.
No, I......" Winter said. "Its not you.... it's just that my... I think I left something down below.”
― Obert Skye, quote from Leven Thumps and the Wrath of Ezra

“What could I do? I was beyond pissed off. Trevor not telling anyone about us was always a big issue between us. I understood his reasons and never pushed it. But when he made fun of guys who had the balls to come out of the closet? That was a line he shouldn’t’ve crossed. I hated he’d done it in front of me.” Edgard shoved a hand through his hair. “After dinner, the whole family loaded up and went to the big rodeo dance. I declined.

“I burned my bootheels getting to the g*y cowboy bar in Denver and hooked up with a dentist who was in town for the rodeo. I spent the night in his hotel room and didn’t see Trevor until the following afternoon when we had to compete.”

Chassie figured she wouldn’t much care for Trevor’s jealous reaction, but she wouldn’t be surprised by it.

“We sucked in the arena. Lost our chance for points or purse. Soon as we were alone he lit into me. We fought. Not with words. With our fists. We beat the shit out of each other, Chass. It was ugly.”

“Where’d it happen? Since you were always so discreet?”

“In the living quarters of the horse trailer. Trev said something. I said something back. He took the first punch. I landed the last. Christ, we were rolling around on the floor, bleeding—”

“Whoa—bleeding?”

Edgard closed his eyes. “When we were shoving each other some beer bottles got broken and we just kept going, stomping all over them. Trevor slipped and fell and I didn’t help him up, I just kept beating on him. So he has a cut on his back and I have a gash on my arm as a memento.”
― Lorelei James, quote from Rough, Raw, and Ready

“I'm not sure what God has in store for you but I do know one thing - it will be good. I've learned He doesn't skimp with those who have a heart for Him. After all, His Word says He honors those who honor Him.”
― Julie Lessman, quote from A Heart Revealed

“Heaven is what you mix all the days of your life, but you call it dreams. You have one chance to buy your Heaven with all the intents and ethics of your life. That is why everyone considers Heaven such a lovely place. Because it is dreams, special dreams, in which you exist. What you have to do is live up to them.”
― Harlan Ellison, quote from I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

“How did we get here? I’ve asked myself that question many times over the past several days. It’s so easy to get caught up in the chaos of our wants, desires, and forgets that there are consequences to each of our choices. I sit with my best warriors realizing the path that we are on and have no idea how to jump off. I ask myself again, how did we get here? I know the answer, but I am not ready to face my own selfishness.”
― Quinn Loftis, quote from Fate and Fury
