Jane Jacobs
“There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.”
Jane Jacobs

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“একদি� আম� তেতাল্লি� বা� সূর্� ডুবত� দেখলাম�' একটু পর� সে আর� বল�--
'জানো, লোকেদে� যখ� খু� মন খারা� থাকে তখ� সূর্যডোব� দেখত� ভা� লাগে�'
'তেতাল্লিশবারের দি� তাহল� তোমা� খু� মন খারা� ছি�?' কো� জবাব� কিন্তু দি� না খুদে রাজকুমার�”
Saint Exupery, The Little Prince

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
“যে ফুলে� আদ� পাওয়া যায় শুধুমাত্� লক্ষ লক্ষ তারা� মধ্য�, তাকে যদ� কে� ভালবাস�, তারাদে� দিকে চেয়� চেয়েই তা� সুখ। নিজেকে সে বোঝায়, 'ঐখান� কোথা� না কোথা� আছ� আমার ফু�...' কিন্তু সে� ফুলটাক� যদ� ভেড়� খেয়� ফেলে তাহল� তো তা� কাছে নিভে যায় সব তারা� আলো। এট� কি গুরুগম্ভী� বিষয� নয�?”
Saint Exupery, The Little Prince

Milan Kundera
“Friendship is indispensable to man for the proper function of his memory. Remembering our past, carrying it with us always, may be the necessary requirement for maintaining, as they say, the wholeness of the self. To ensure that the self doesn't shrink, to see that it holds on to its volume, memories have to be watered like potted flowers, and the watering calls for regular contact with the witnesses of the past, that is to say, with friends. They are our mirror; our memory; we ask nothing of them but that they polish the mirror from time to time so we can look at ourselves in it.”
Milan Kundera, Identity

Milan Kundera
“During the twenty years of Odesseus' absence, the people of Ithaca retained many recollections of him but never felt nostalgia for him. Whereas Odysseus did suffer nostalgia, and remembered almost nothing.

.....

For four long books of the Odyssey he had retraced in detail his adventures before the dazzled Phaeacians. But in Ithaca he was not a stranger, he was one of their own, so it never occurred to anyone to say, 'Tell us!”
Milan Kundera, Ignorance
