8 " It’s not natural for members of a society to adopt a calm, rational stance towards a group of people who violate social restrictions to act in a contrary fashion in all matters.

It is one of the penalties to be paid for deliberately breaking social laws. "

No wonder I can never forget the true, complete image of Bharatvarsha. "

― Rabindranath Tagore , Gora

― Rabindranath Tagore , Gora

12 " An idea that sounds definite when aired as an opinion may not always appear so certain when applied to human beings. "
