“পূরবীতেই বা কেন সন্ধ্যাকাল মনে আসে আর ভৈঁরোতেই বা কেন প্রভাত মনে আসে? পূরবীতেও কোমল সুরের বাহুল্য, আর ভৈঁরোতেও কোমল সুরের বাহুল্য, তবে উভয়েতে বিভিন্ন ফল উৎপন্ন করে কেন?'

'দেখা গিয়েছে আমাদের দিবাবসানের রাগিনীতে কোমল রেখাব এবং কড়ি মধ্যমের যোগই বিশেষ লক্ষ্য করিবার বিষয়- এবং ভৈঁরোতে কোমল রেখাব লাগে বটে কিন্তু কড়ি মধ্যম লাগে না, শুদ্ধ মধ্যম লাগে, এই সামান্য প্রভেদেই প্রথমত সুরের মূর্তি অনেক পরিবর্তন হইয়া যায় তাহার পরে অন্যান্য প্রভেদও আছে ।”

“You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, El Principito

“So the little prince tamed the fox. And when the hour of his departure drew near--

Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."

It is your own fault," said the little prince. "I never wished you any sort of harm; but you wanted me to tame you . . ."

Yes, that is so," said the fox.

But now you are going to cry!" said the little prince.

Yes, that is so," said the fox.

Then it has done you no good at all!"

It has done me good," said the fox, "because of the color of the wheat fields.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
