Purnendu Patri-r bhalolaga quotations-er du-akti
`There are moments we must reach. Moments of the highest existence
when time stands still and all the life of mankind is absorbed
into your life. These are the moments of eternity.... it is
towards these perfect moments out of time that the whole human
race is moving'---Dostoeveskey.
`It is dark and Iam alone'---Shakespeare.
Gandhiji-ke sroddha janate giey Rabindranath akbar bolechilen,
" Here was living truth at last, not a quotation from books".
May his soul live in peace.
