Rabindranath TagoreA butterfly flitting from flower to flower ever remains mine, I lose the one that is netted by me.
Rabindranath TagoreFalse hope is clung to with all one's might and main, till a day comes when it has sucked the heart dry and it forcibly breaks through its bonds and departs. After that comes the misery of awakening, and then once again the longing to get back into the maze of the same mistakes.
Rabindranath TagoreYou have made me known to friends whom I knew not. You have given me seats in homes not my own. You have brought the distant near and made a brother of the stranger... When one knows You, then there is no alien, and no door is shut.
Rabindranath Tagore
