Quotations
- "Well, not only is it about the story but also about science. In a way I am translating to inform people in interesting ways about science, and in effect, engage them in learning."
- "Asimov's a menace, he's written 800 books, and I just have to translate them all!"
- "Then there's that old hag Arthur C. Clarke who writes in that hardcore scientific way, and there's even room to translate Jules Verne, whose short stories are yet to be done."
- "Even the English version of Asimov and Clarke that pour into Dhaka are sold in a jiffy, that supports my belief of all these years that names like Asimov and Clarke had already been embedded into the psyche of the Bangali sci-fi followers, it was only a matter of making them more thirsty."

Famous quotes containing the word quotations:
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
“A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book—it is a plaything.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
