“ ”Amit likens fashion to a mask, and style to beauty of countenance. Style, he feels, belongs to the literary elite, who live by their own wishes. And fashion is for the ordinary lot, who make it their business to please other people. . . . You may view a professional dancing girl beneath the awning of a public marquee; but for the first glimpse of the bride’s face during the <i>shubhodrishti</i> ritual, a veil of Benarasi fabric is required. The marquee belongs to fashion, the Benarasi veil — which reveals the special one’s countenance shaded by a special hue — to style.

Additional quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
Most people believe the mind to be a mirror, more or less accurately reflecting the world outside them, not realizing on the contrary that the mind is itself the principal element of creation.
تعيشُ بعضُ الحوريات المتنكّرات
ولا يُعرَفُ أنّهُنّ حوريّات
إلا عندَ إختفائِهِنّ عن الأنظار.
Those who wish to sit, shut their eyes,
and meditate to know if the world's true or lies,
may do so. It's their choice. But I meanwhile
with hungry eyes that can't be satisfied
shall take a look at the world in broad daylight.
