Shahanaz Sharmin

“A photograph represents the past without bringing it to life. A photograph gives shape to history; it allows us to fashion a landscape of feeling, suppressing whatever other emotional detail is ungovernable. A photograph is a ladder that goes backward in time, a ladder we can push away whenever we want. With photographs, we can obscure the past as much as illuminate it.”
― Billy-Ray Belcourt, Coexistence: Stories

“When longing to disappear,
I take one trip,
I walk, eat, let my mind wander”
― Unkonown

“You see!” I remarked at once, half-jestingly, half-mysteriously, “I am part of that
part of the Whole that seeks to do ill, but does good . . . .”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Gentle Spirit

“Strangeness is not vice.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Gentle Spirit
