21 " তুমি মেয়ে,তুমি খুব ভাল করে মনে রেখোতুমি যখন ঘরের চৌকাঠ ডিঙোবেলোকে তোমাকে আড়চোখে দেখবে।তুমি যখন গলি ধরে হাঁটতে থাকবেলোকে তোমার পিছু নেবে, শিস দেবে।তুমি যখন গলি পেরিয়ে বড় রাস্তায় উঠবেলোকে তোমাকে চরিত্রহীন বলে গাল দেবে।যদি তুমি অপদার্থ হওতুমি পিছু ফিরবেআর তা না হলেযেভাবে যাচ্ছ, যাবে। "

22 " According to Abdul Kalam Azad, ‘It is one of the greatest frauds on the people to suggest that religious affinity can unite areas which are geographically, economically, linguistically and culturally different. It is true that Islam sought to establish a society which transcends racial, linguistic, economic and political frontiers. History has however proved that after the first few decades or at most after the first century, Islam was not able to unite all the Muslim countries on the basis of religion alone. "

24 " Suronjon understood that this person who had built a world within herself, who had long stopped venturing outside her household, she who did not differentiate between Parveen and Archana, had suddenly been rattled. She too had begun to ask whether only Muslims felt fury, anger and pride. "
25 " [L]et the edifices of religions crumble, let a blind fire consume all the bricks in temples, mosques, and gurudwaras and churches, and on those ruins let us grow enchanting gardens of sweet-smelling flowers and build schools and libraries. Let places of worship be used for the good of people and be turned into hospitals, orphanages, schools and universities. Our new places of worship should be academies of art and cultures, centres of creativity and institutes of scientific research. Let the rice fields with golden grain bathed by the early rays of the sun, the open fields and rivers, and the deep sea be our new places of prayer. Let humanity be the other name for religion. "
26 " He no longer believed in ideals and stuff. He wished that he could kick out the beliefs he had held so dear all his life. Why should he bear the burden of these principles when all most people do is only touch their lips to the cup of wisdom but not take it into their hearts and minds? Why should he bother with being the only believer? "
27 " كان صوته يتكسر و الخجل يغمره , ولكنه نطق بها , أجبر نفسه على قولها . أجبر نفسه على أن يقول أنهم راحلون . وأدرك أن هذه هي الوسيلة الوحيدة التي يجب أن ينتهي بها الأمر , لأن الجبل القوي الذي بناه داخل نفسه كان يتضاءل يوما بعد يوم "
