“Raised as we are on the mythology of the Old Testament, we might say that an idyll is an image that has remained with us like a memory of Paradise: life in Paradise was not like following a straight line to the unknown; it was not an adventure.

“একটা মানুষ সুখী না দুঃখী চট করে বলে ফেলা যায়। ভালোমতো তাকে দেখবি। যদি দেখিস বেশি কথা বলছে তাহলেই বুঝবি সে সুখী মানুষ। আর যদি দেখিস কথাবার্তা কম বলছে তাহলেই বুঝবি – মনের মধ্যে অনেক দুঃখ। সবচে বেশি কথা বলে কারা? পাগলরা। সারাক্ষণই এরা কথা বলে। আশেপাশে মানুষ থাকলে কথা বলে। আশেপাশে কেউ না থাকলে নিজের মনেই বিড়বিড় করে। এই দুনিয়ায় সবচে সুখী মানুষ কারা? পাগলরা। একবার কষ্ট করে পাগল হয়ে যেতে পারলে খুবই মজা। আর কোনো দুঃখ নাই। শুধুই সুখ। এইসব ভেবেই পাগল হয়ে যেতে ইচ্ছে করে।”
